    AnniWaltz First Climb Gradient

    I was wondering what the gradient on the first climb was and how far in metres you run/walk up it as the path looks at least at some point zig zag. If someone knows i am going to record the data so i can keep a record and use it in future training.
    They called me mad and i called them mad and damn them they outvoted me !!!.

    Well...my Garmin Forerunner was set up to stop recording when I stopped moving when I did the AW last year. Suffice to say the gradient was sufficient to slow me down to the exent that the GPS was convinced I wasn't moving at all.

    Oh Dear Ice axe needed to penetrate the ground and pull yourself up. It looks like 1:10 or so but not sure.

    The way up through the crags/scree is a bit of a pant filler - be a sheep and don't stray up this way!
