| Table 1 presents the
"Martin Classification of Difficulty for U.S. State
Highpoints." It includes an alphabetical listing of states, the
name of each state highpoint, its elevation, elevation gain, distance,
and its difficulty rating. The elevations listed are from a United
States Geological Survey (USGS) publication (1995) and may be slightly
different from elevations found in some guidebooks, on some maps, and in
other literature on these locations. The USGS revises its data as
highpoints are resurveyed and new technology is utilized to determine
elevations. The elevation gain is an estimate of ALL vertical gain
(including gain related to undulating terrain) on the
"standard" route. Distance is the round-trip distance on
the easiest "standard" route. The difficulty rating is
based on the overall difficulty of reaching the highpoint by way of the
easiest standard route. Finally, the eighteen highpoints that are
wheelchair accessible (under good weather conditions) are indicated. |
