    B Estimate the difficulty of a mountain route

    Good idea, I'll do the same. Yep, it was steep and affected me for 3 days . That's how I've set my upper limits. There are tons of awesome trails on high altitude, quite easy, with beautiful landscapes. I get as close is possible with my car, then I hike. I just don't want to get exhausted...

    B Estimate the difficulty of a mountain route

    Ok, I'll let you know what I did, it seems to work. Its the first raw version, it can be refined. I made a function to get the horizontal effort like HE = D + H * 8 (or HorizontalEffort = HorizontalDistance + VerticalDifference * 8) I am using Scarf's equivalence adjusted with a higher...

    If I could climb that much I wouldn't need a score for a trail:) Anyway, the Naismith rule is excellent.

    B Estimate the difficulty of a mountain route

    There are many routes to choose from. I want to check the distance and the vertical difference and estimate it as a score so to know if I will do it or not. My age and physical condition won't let me do 15km and 1200m up in one day...

    B Estimate the difficulty of a mountain route

    Hello guys, I am not into this field and finished my college long ago. I am trying to find a formula to estimate the difficulty of a mountain route. The input is: D = linear distance between start and destination (as given by Google Maps) in m, km, whatever. Both points are considered at the...
