I understand. I'm going up on a 6 mile+ hike at about 9k' this thursday (June 19). That will tell the tale... I'll go until I don't think I can make it back but I think I might make it at least 4 miles... the bonus would be to make it all the way to balanced rock (6+mi RT). It won't be overly hot at that altitude...

I would control my pace, keep an eye on HR (if it climbs much above about 130 when walking, you might wish to slow or pause). You can push it later when you 'know' or feel it in your bones that you're ready for a greater effort. That may be a month from now. Also, keep an eye on electrolytes if you're going to be sweating some, and of course keep the fluids up. Also, keep a snack with some carbs so you don't 'bonk' and maybe encourage a cranky heart.
