The Wittenberg Mountain, elevation gain 3000 feet over 4.95 miles,
snow depth 36-45 inches, weather- abt 25F at base, 15F at summit with

not vertical, abt 65 degree slope overall, a drop of 70 feet from top of
each. Sunrise is 7:24, sunset is 4:40pm, but darkness is early because
mountains to the west crunch the sunset to abt 3:30pm. Roundtrip is 10

Thanks for your help. It should be interesting and, hopefully, fun. Marc
