For a climbing route it's normally the distance of assent that is of
interest is it not and I guess for most traditional climbing routes this is
known? Much easier to state the length of the route than the top and bottom
elevations? Accepted that you might want to converge on an elevation for the
start of the route as accuracy of the position is improved with time.
