Climbing Mt Bartle Frere, Qld. |
 In the first three-and-a-quarter kilometres / two miles, we'd climbed only about 250 metres. The next four-and-a-quarter kilometres / 2.6 miles were far steeper: we had to ascend one-and-a-quarter kilometres / three-quarters of a mile. This meant that the average incline for the rest of the climb was about 30 percent. |
