does anyone know the vertical gain for the AT section in the 104 miles of the shenandoahs and for the 72 miles of the smokies.
many thanks, "SQUEAKY"
What have you got up your sleeve now, Squeaky? Sounds like there might be another personal challenge in the making! Are you gonna post it on WB, so all the Internet Hikers can tell you it can't be done?

Good luck, whatever the next challenge may be.

i was wanting to compare the terrain to the GR20 in corsica. that has 69,000 ft of vert gain over 118 miles. the record for that is just under 33 hours. i was thinking of having a stab at it as part of preperation for some very unfinished buisness, which i am sure you all know what that is:-?
there is something in the articles section on this and i created a spreadsheet from it for the whole trail. you can grab what you need from there. i am traveling, but can post the spreadsheet tomorrow.
