Y'see those little white squares in the bottom left? Those are the buildings at the bottom of the hill. 750 vertical feet, baby - and YOU can DO it. There's a gravel road all the way up; Mel's giving us lots of time to get 'er done. Don't think about the mountain; think about how you'll feel when it's done.
Every summer, people sign up for challenges of increasing craziness - first, there was Spartan Race, and now Tough Mudder. They start at the bottom of a mountain, race up and back down with a team. They get a bit muddy, bond with their friends, and beam for a month. They call it life-changing; we call it Event #1.
