Before the discussion even starts, I figured I'd mention that I envisioned this as an "I'm better than you" achievement because I couldn't think of a fair and reasonable way to describe an achievement where you had to climb a whole lot to get to the hash that day. It just seemed too subjective. Note that I also thought about the fact that you often (usually!) have to go up, then down, then up again...repeatedly...to get to a hash. I haven't found a consistently precise way to measure that total elevation gained, and in my experience the numbers I got were wholly fabulous, so I think the fairest way to do it is to simply measure elevation difference between start and end point. Any thoughts from other folks??
