Elk Lake - Marcy Trail

A short, power-hike climb in New York. The hardest 500 metres average 21.0% and start 598 m in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Northwest-facing, so it stays cool until late in the day. Most runners need 11 to 19 minutes. At 2.9 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care.
