Stored distance is 5.85 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (5.5 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 11855988 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-21). Name is the OSM relation name (Sinhagad); no tag=* shield. Member ways are untagged for sac_scale; SAC stays ungraded.
