Altitude weather delta

High 4,096 m minus low 1,573 m is 2,523 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 16.4 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.

That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Stored distance is 33.19 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (29.5 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 11232368 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-19). Season and permit were not sourced. SAC is OSM-sourced alpine_hiking (T4, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-19); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.

OSM 2D length is 33.19 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 11232368, lastVerified 2026-09-19). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. OSM tag=SAR is an UltraJourneys shield, not OSM ref, and not the trail name. Ingest stored assembly 33.2 km. The published figure is the evidence-sheet 33.19 km for relation 11232368.
