If after having hiked 50% of the horizontal part of a there and back hike I had done 5/6ths of the total vertical ascension where was I?

Neil, you should change your title to "Threadstarter".
My guess is Dix, I may have missunderstood the enigma tho.Originally posted by NeilWho needs a Psych when you have the outdoors. -

Here's another clue.
Total elevation gain = 3600 feet.The best, the most successful adventurer, is the one having the most fun.Comment

Why, I beleive you are at the top of Iroquois Peak.
From Loj (2179') to the peak of Iroquois (4840') is a releif of 3135 counting Algonquin. .
3135 divided by 5 times 6 = 3762 The change between 3762 and 3135 ( 627 or 1/6th total elevation) is roughly the gain you need to make it back over Algonquin to get home.Last edited by Rick; 10-08-2004, 09:02 AM.Rick

Why, I believe your a little too far west. BTW when I said 3600 feet I was counting gross gain and not net.The best, the most successful adventurer, is the one having the most fun.Comment

Nope.
Obviously we're looking a 2 summits.
When getting onto #1 for the first time you've done 42% of your day's total horizontal.The best, the most successful adventurer, is the one having the most fun.Comment

WEll I am trying to fit RPR from Rte 73 into the mold, but I can;t quite get it to fit. I looked at Colvin and Blake from Ausable, but I can't the numbers to add up. I also looked at Gothics (with the out point being on Gothics and doing Saddleback on the return)from JBL. The number seem to fit, but it isn't exactly a return trip
So OK, I goot aget some work done. I am curious though. tough one Neil!Rick

After 42% horizontal, 2400 feet have been ascended.
After 50%, 3000
After 58%, 3600
All downhill from there.
Note, my vertical feet is based on counting lines on the map and may not be as exact as your calculations. My horizontal calculations are quite precise however.The best, the most successful adventurer, is the one having the most fun.Comment

Duh, Neil My Bad. I won't tell you say which it was, only that I added 1,000 feet elev to the starting elev, when I copied the numbers into a spreadsheet. After I took the thou out, (the first 2 numbers in the starting el changed from 26 to 16) and it worked out.
I'll PM youRick

Well, as a newbie here, I must say, y'all nuts!
Just kidding of course, honestly, I'm a little jealous that I'm not familiar enough with the ADK to even take an uneducated guess, but I will be eventually. Maybe I'm the nutty one here, consciously heading in this direction!Comment
