Monster Bowl

pic from the top. If it is only 870ft then turbo must only be about 500.

I have seen 1500 ft on 2 different handheld GPS units. I guess everybody should pitch there handhelds and take google earth with them up the hill.

Garmin topo maps work in conjunction with google earth. they are very close to each other..

1500 feet distance, but i doubt vertical.

Now that is nasty!! Gonna have to come check that out after Xmas, maybe. Doe it make you pucker and feel like forever when you climb? Takesatleast eleventeen seconds for my adrenaline to kick in................

I had a Garmin GPS on the beach in Alaska (yeah, that's sea level, 0 +/- 6 feet depending on the tide and my GPS read 172 feet. I sold it on ebay, bought another one and was in Victoria BC the next year on a sail boat. It read 130 feet. . .

Haven't owned one since. The helicopter's altimeter measured the Gash close to 850 feet of vert (from hovering about 10 feet off the lake). Google Earth shows it has 835 feet of vert at the most. It shows the Monster has a little under 900 vert. . .

Any chute near 1000 vert is huge, no matter!!!

Great to all who climbed the Monster, it is a crazy chute!! I have seen it climbed many times in the last 5 years and 509 Tom's footage in his new movie of the guys climbing it still made my heart pound!!

On my contour map produced by the Surveys and Mapping Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources:

100 foot contours:
Monster:
lake to the west rim = 8 contour lines.
Lake to the south rim = 10 contour lines.

Turbo:
If you start at the trees where everyone parks to the tip top = 11 contour lines.

So there you have it.

I'm fairly certain my GPS is accurate within 3 meters, but that's for location, my elevation is almost always off, I only use eleveation as a general ballpark.
