Hatching tightens as the ground steepens. Times are moving time from the trailhead — no stops, no lunch, no photographs.

This route was assembled from OpenStreetMap (relation 20246214), with elevation resampled every 25 m from terrain tiles. Something wrong? The fix belongs upstream in OpenStreetMap, where it reaches every map rather than just this one.
