This is a neat idea!

See: https://comaps.at/0jmL4fSc2E/The_Ladder

The Steep Ravine trail is on the side of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. It’s stunningly beautiful, very near Muir Woods, with coast redwoods and ferns growing alongside Webb Creek.

As you’d guess from the name, some parts of the trail are quite steep. One section is so steep, there is a ladder you must climb up (or down) to get across an otherwise impassable portion.

On CoMaps, I love how this feature is labeled “The Ladder”, as opposed to just “ladder” generically, because anyone who has done this trail know there is one ladder, and it is The Ladder, for sure! This is such a small detail, but I like how the map reflects how locals refer to this feature.
