The Statistics

Starting Elevation 7,050 Feet
Lowest Elevation on Route 6,750 Feet
Highest Elevation on Route 20,320 Feet
Total Elevation Gain* 23,620 Feet
Total Round Trip Mileage (aprox)* 50.5 Miles
Total Hiking Time 97 Hours
Total Round Trip Time 17 Days
Total Time to Summit 14.5 Days

* These figures may seem high, but you must remember that we actually climbed from Camp 1 to Camp 5 twice, due to the amount of equipment and supplies we carried for our 21 day plan. If you could do single carries on the entire route, the Total Elevation Gain would be 13,570 Feet, and the Total Round Trip Mileage would be 30 miles.
