1000 ft of elevation gain is plenty
anything more is superfluous and simply for poseurs to brag about

I’ve climbed many 13th and 14ers in Colorado and not one of them has a view as impressive as that of Cadillac Mountain in Maine.

Oh I thought you had to climb it. Maybe I'm confusing it with something else.

The dirty little secret of the Solar System is that while Olympus Mons is highest peak, the grade is so gentle that the views from the top would be extremely unimpressive.

Try being innadesert at 2500 feet when it's 105F and the average temperature change is 5F per 1000 feet. That 9500 foot peak starts lookin real good.

I personally like high summits.
a) They are a good, fun, workout
b) being above treeline is quite a rush and feels great (pending weather)
c) Sense of accomplishment when you reach the top
d) High summits tend to have good rock scrambles and I like rock scrambles
e) I enjoy them which is the most important part

Bruh we have 1000 feet of elevation gain in the fucking Netherlands. A toddler barely out of diapers can walk that shit up and down.
It's not "plenty", it barely registers as a molehill.

To climb? To live on? You can hike many miles of land over many miles of elevation, some land is high or close to sea level, post is very vague. I have climbed some tall mountains, even with ropes, but what is more difficult is hiking long distances over elevated terrain.

wut, above the trees is obligatory for summer hiking in scandinavia, below that it is a race against the bugs.

I live at 3000 ft and am surrounded by hills and mountains. They are not even tall mountains. The tallest is like 11000 feet. I have to travel out of state just to find a 14er.

Nothing like the smell of fresh growth in the alpine in spring.
