Here is my spontaneous training amble from today's church picnic.
Nothing major, only a little over a mile, but what a mile. Check out the elevation profile on this one. I figure it's a pretty good representation of the first climb up to Rimrock in the orienteering section.

Nice climb!
You didn't mention kettlebells. I thought you'd want to be carrying something heavy at the same time. :-)
Normally I would carry a 100-pound sandbag up the hill, or sometimes a 40-pound bag in each hand with a rope that must be clenched in the fist so I get forearm action along with the obvious aerobic benefits, but this was something I wasn't planning on doing. I just happened to be next to the mountain, it called to me, and I climbed it. As I did it, I was thinking that I might be covering more vertical ground than horizontal, at least on the way up. That is a steep hill.
