The fasted ascent over ~3,900 ft of gain produced a steady metabolic ramp, reflected by an approximate 1.5 ppm ketone reading at the peak. Mid-altitude conditions and runnable terrain supported a higher stride efficiency, shifting the effort profile toward sustained fat oxidation rather than hypoxia-induced acceleration. Despite starting from a low baseline after a 16-hour fast, metabolic output rose predictably at elevation, and finished markedly higher than the peak marker — consistent with a moderate autophagy response. In aggregate, the physiology reflected stable substrate switching, efficient energy usage, and clean stress adaptation under continuous climb load.
