This photo doesn't really give a proper snapshot of the technical difficulty.
Week of April 08-14, 2012: 35 miles in two runs; speed work on the rail trail and the Traprock 50k where
I ran 6:19, placing 30th out of 88. Vert for the rail trail was none and the vert for Traprock was somewhere between 4,200' (I figured from a topo) and 7000' (website). With the rolling terrain I would say that 5,000' would be the most appropriate amount of climb.
