This is triggered off the question about section C... but, are there
sections that it really does make a difference btwn nobo and sobo in terms
of perception of downhilledness (I can understand the difference in terms of
sun on your back, sun in your face)? I know when I yoyo'd the jmt (1st sobo,
then nobo), it seemed like the nobo was more downhill, ie, the climbs on the
south side of the passes where shorter, vertically and mileage, than the
dropoffs on the north sides - but this could have had more to do with being
in better shape on the nobo having already done the sobo... but for the
other sections, it seems that even if there were a 5k' difference btwn the
ends, and the nominal section is 100 miles, that would only amount to a 50'
per mile difference... but having not "thru'd" yet... I'll shutup and
listen.
