Elevation Gain/Elevation Loss | |||
Convention question from what I see you doing. Positive for gain, negative for loss? Does the order make a difference? What happens if Loss is first, then Gain? | |||

::[[Image:Elevation gain loss example.png|300px|left|Elevation gain/loss from Google Earth]]Straight from Google Earth elevation profile for the KML. The amount of climbing up or climbing down one-way on a trail. A perfectly flat descending hike would have 0' gain, but could have 2,000' loss in 0.5 miles, making it a hard hike back that I think would have been lost with just reporting gain before. Ultimately more data to help understand hike difficulty (short of looking at an elevation profile). --[[User:Tim|Tim]] ([[User talk:Tim|talk]]) 19:01, 29 September 2015 (MDT) | |||
