Mount Marathon. The race trail starts at in the lower left
corner of the picture and heads straight for the top along
the little ridge line you can see. Where the trail splits
(2/3 of the way up), you go left (straight up) on the way
up and come down on the trail to the right. 3000 feet total,
straight up, straight down. |
