Mountain

Contours, cols, and the long way up.

The map

Mountains are contour lines stacked like a promise. The closer the lines, the harder the climb.

How to draw it

scale    1:25 000
contour  20 m interval
relief   shaded southeast
peaks    spot heights, trig points
tracks   dashed, confidence-rated

What to include

The col where the wind changes. The false summit that lies about the real one. The long way up that was always the point.
