minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish32•1 year agoThese elevations look highly exaggerated. The differences in elevation aren’t that extreme.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI mean its zero to 14.5k feet. Hike to the top of Mount Whitney and tell me again it’s exaggerated.
