Oh c'mon. With a 1:5 scale, sure it looks like a lot.

Show us a 1:1 scale and then we'll provide whatever sympathy is appropriate. HPH

1500ft. gain in 1/2 mile is an accomplishment and that graph gives a visual of what it must have felt like! Bravo to you guys for doing it! Bill and I looked and looked, but couldn't see you. Shoulda worn your red coat Ed! We could have taken your pic!

Looks beautiful but torturous! My knees and lungs hurt just looking at the steepness.

Awesome. Great to see where you guys headed! It looks just as fun as it does grueling. We really enjoyed tagging along on the first leg of your journey. The highlight of our trip. I'll get our account posted here in the next few days.

Wow! I am in awe of your accomplishment of what looks like a straight up vertical climb to me. I'm sure this is an "Edventure" that will not soon be forgotten.
