Add an Explicit Ascent Allowance to Walking Time
A route’s flat-ground estimate can hide the time you spend climbing. Add a visible, self-chosen ascent allowance while keeping breaks, descent and difficult terrain outside the moving-time figure.

Research prototype — checkout unavailable. Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the ascent-time index card: your route leg | flat-ground moving minutes | ascent metres stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Perspective: Before: Downhill sections do not cancel the effort and time already spent ascending. After: the ascent-time index card shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.

Personal scenario arithmetic only, not navigation, mountain-safety advice or an arrival guarantee. Use appropriate maps, current conditions and local guidance; do not rely on this figure for emergency or exposed-route decisions.

Boundary and sources
Personal scenario arithmetic only, not navigation, mountain-safety advice or an arrival guarantee. Use appropriate maps, current conditions and local guidance; do not rely on this figure for emergency or exposed-route decisions.
- Method: Moving minutes = baseline + ascent ÷ 100 × allowance. Sixty baseline minutes with 200 m ascent at ten minutes per 100 m becomes 80 minutes.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Mechanism: competence-autonomy-loop
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this ascent-time index card, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a ascent-time index card. Return plain rows only: route leg | flat-ground moving minutes | ascent metres. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: route leg | flat-ground moving minutes | ascent metres. No AI response is executed as code.
