Re: Would you fare in Mordor/Mount Doom?

Very true, gamegie. Mountain climbing can be tough work even when you are in top shape. Especially when no trail is used. Does anyone have any idea at what kind of elevation the slopes of mt Doom were? There's a big difference between, say, 2000 feet and 12000 feet (though I don't think the mountains of Mordor were over 12,000, as they weren't noted as 'snow-covered'.
