Considering it's a really old and wide shield volcano, the limiting factor can't be the 'climb' so to speak. Surely it's traction so perhaps lower gravity is worse? On the other hand you _can_ bound up it. Still, I can't help but think we'd be traction limited in some sense. Usain Bolt would probably be about the same time considering he can't push down enough, I imagine. Would be cool to estimate.
- BurningFrog 2y agoAre you saying the terrain is more gravel/sand than solid rock?
- renewiltord 2y agoI was just thinking about the gravitational force providing traction to go forward.
- BurningFrog 2y agoAha. I didn't even consider that could be a factor. You may well be right. I do know, after having walked up many a high mountain, that a major pain point is the gained altitude. You're lifting your body weight several kilometers up! Distance walked is a much smaller factor.
