Re: Would you fare in Mordor/Mount Doom?

I remember being very suprised at Mount Doom's height, which was mentioned as being about 4500ft above Gorgoroth. This is a little higher than the tallest of the mountains here in Scotland, which I've climbed, and I can tell you it's no easy task, even with a good path and enough food! It always amazed me how Sam managed to carry Frodo up most of the way even after days of journeying in Mordor.
