Baboquivari Peak is beyond words but I will try. First of all the formation is breathtaking, from a distance it stands as a lone sentinel over the desert landscape. It is essentially the granite heart of a mountain that has been exposed due to erosion over many years. 

Vertical Kilometers are popular races, especially in Europe.  They are all-out, ascent-only races on the steepest terrain possible.  By repeating this classic stair climb 17 times, we now have a Vertical K in the Midwest!
