Contour Lines
Lines on a map that join points of equal height. Close lines mean steep ground; widely spaced lines mean gentle ground.
In the wild
"See how the contour lines bunch up here? That's the climb."
Why it matters
Reading contours lets you picture spurs, gullies and saddles before you get there.
