Introduction
I'm new to the area and my wife and I are looking to meet some people that enjoy the same types of things as we do. We're both 26, I'm a programmer and she is an environmental consultant.
Are you able to hike at a rapid pace at altitude?

While I don't know what definition you use as rapid, we hiked to Royal Arch at a pretty good pace.

Is your physical conditioning good at a minimum?

Yes

Are you accustomed to Hiking at moderate to high altitudes?

My wife worked in the Fraser experimental forest hiking about non stop for 3 months, and has hiked for 8+ years. I am less experienced, but I've done a few 12er's and we're thinking about doing some of the 14er's around CO.
