2 new climbs and 14118ft a loop ... yep, that’s what the new

In honor of the

same elevation in either direction, but CW is probably what you want on the 5th if you have a choice. Jaque Mate down, Meatgrinder down, Rat Jaw down and a simpler navigation on the south part of the park in that direction.

Every day, a two-parts coding challenge was revealed, from December 1st to 25th.
Got the 50th star yesterday! It was fun and "interesting". All done in Python.
So you say one player can have a higher batting average than another 3 years in a row but ending up having a lower batting average overall? Yep, that’s the Simpson’s paradox! Some students asked me about it, so I made a
