Y'all want another rainbow gathering thread in the catalogue?
Colorado 14ers are so heckin' hardcore!

The trailhead for this starts at 5,200'

No response? S'matter, least coasties, trying to wrap your head around hikes with elevation gain greater than the total elevation of most Appalachian "mountains"?
>trying to wrap your head around hikes with elevation gain greater than the total elevation of most Appalachian "mountains"?
You can do that in the east by stringing together a bunch of mountains

Interesting. Traversing the entire presidential range has less elevation gain than climbing Rainier by it's easiest route.
The same can be said about 99.9% of routes out west. What's your point?
>The same can be said about 99.9% of routes out west.
Not really. Most routes up mountains in places like the North Cascades or Eastern Sierra are at least 6-7000ft elevation gain.
theyre still graded out homie I do a 2 mile 2k elevation hike right up the road and its just a 45 minute switchback lmao.
t. cascade dweller
Not in the North Cascades
>Eastern Sierra are at least 6-7000ft elevation gain
Lmao what

So you have to cheat to compete? Thanks for playing better luck next time
>cheat
No rules, no prize, no fricks given
You cared from the time you started the thread until you got BTFO
Didn't make the thread, didn't post before that.
Sure you didn't
How is that cheating? Elevation gain is elevation gain whether you're going up a single mountain or going up and down mountains all day.
Then his argument is at best moot, as you can do the same thing in the Rockies, even though you don't need to, as evidenced by
and
I was only refuting the post about the west having "elevation gain greater than the total elevation of most Appalachian mountains" as if you can't get similar elevation gains in the east.
The Giant-Dix traverse is 10,000 feet which rivals nearly everything in the west. C2C is a little over 10K gain and that's considered one of the biggest single-day hikes you can have out west. And the terrain is a lot more rugged in the Adirondacks than in Palm Springs lol.
Palm Springs? The frick does that have to do with the Intermountain west, which is what the OP is about? You're really flailing here bud
It's relevant because 10k gain is greater than just about any route in the entire western US which includes the intermountain west.
>It's relevant because 10k gain is greater than just about any route in the entire western US
But, again, that requires multiple peaks, which you could also do in the west, and the total elevation gain would be much greater than 10k feet.
This is a fair point
Sick of this west vs east shit anyway, mostly arguments made by people who have never gone to either coast.
You mean people who never been to the other coast, right? Most midwesterners don't give a shit one way or another and have no dog in this fight.
This fricking thread again. Yes, the mountains in the West are better, you just gotta deal with it brother
ITT, poorgays who can’t travel to go hiking. Sad. It’s not even that expensive.
Cope. I don't need to travel to go hiking. I can drive ten minutes down the road.
What mountain / trail is that I want to look at the trail grade
Grays Peak in Colorado. Most people combine it with Torreys Peak.
Lemme get a bump
>bumping a repeated shitpost thread
Yes.
bump for stylin on westoid larpers
dab on em
this but unironically, rockymountainlets will never experience a real mountain
Hawaii is the only one that meets your meme picture tho
Yeah the rockies are so lame. The hills out east are much better.
i've done both. both great, neither spectacular. it's not a contest, homosexuals.
>rise of almost 6,000
>actually 5,200
kek your own meme btfo you
I think I have seen this hill a few times, do you post this on your mountain bike on /n/?
It's a meme you dip.
Pretty shitty meme, I don't usually come to this board though... Was just bored with o and fit. Oh well, go frick yourself homosexual
you can drive jeeps everywhere out west. 9/10 peaks can be reached by a chinaman on an e-bike. lol
If you dont start every hike in the Challenger Deep, then you have never hiked
Colorado tho
