Yeah, me too. It's hard to find a place with 4,500 in a half mile, much less climb it.
I think Dan mistyped, it was actually a 2500' gain in a half mile, about 10-12 switchbacks.
We are pretty much used to Dan's exaggerations.
Well, why let the truth get in the way of a good story?
I actually looked at that topo... The pic where Ed was satnding is about a 2500' gain. To the top (the old lookout tower) is at about 7500' (another mile in) trailhead is about 3100' I did lie to keep the locations specifics vague... BECAUSE I don't want to see any other [bleep] hunting in there. It is in the top 10 ridgelines for max elevation in my area of operation, and features many sub alpine meadows.
However, Calvin can still go [bleep] himself. i only eve see what he writes when others quote him, as he'll be on my ignore list indefinately.
