Virginus Mine Trail

A very steep climb in Colorado. The hardest 500 metres average 30.2% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 20 to 33 minutes. At 7.0 TEP it is harder than 66% of the climbs in the catalogue. It faces north: the shady side, where snow stays longest. Graded alpine hiking: exposed, rocky ground that needs sure feet and some use of the hands. The nearest named summit, Mendota Peak at 4,039 m, is 792 m away.
