I think it is called Olympus Mons or some such (on Mars). Mt Olympus is a little closer to home in WA or Greece.
mons is latin for mountain... mons veneris is latin for cameltoe (mountain of venus) by the way
so yeah, then i had to hang this TOTALLY SICK sloper and like, bust into a kneebar on the slab.... I was totally beached whalin' and my spotter was like " i gotcha dood!" but he was huffin on his bong so....
wearing all the crystals and microknobs off is like going from knobbies to slicks or gravel to pavement on your bike. smoother surface, more rubber contact, better stick... at least its what i tell myself
i was a minnit too slow there all righty
hey lum ox iof you measure the trail length off a map then it IS horizontal distance. dont gimme no inverse sine.
of course if you took trail length out of a sissy hiking book where it was measured with a wheel they push along da trail THEN maybe youd be making sine but they probably already did the froo froo slope calc for ya......
ANYWAYS its all just chestbeating...... the RELENTLESS mt si trail storms upward at an average angle of 19.7 degrees, STEEPER THAN MT OLYMPUS THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
way simpler method
tangent = rise/run
so in your example 520'/1mile (5280 or whatever) (way simpler in metric!!!!)
so tan x = 0.1
so x = inv. tan of 0.1
I never have to do that last part cause i use % slope and it's a 10% slope.
i was told ram creek was not worth mentioning. you could always check out hotsprings of western canada 2nd edition.
lussier is the home of the ice climb "the less wardens the better". no ice in summer though
