Runner vs ropeway

The world-famous trail runners Dmitry and Ekaterina Mityaev live in Gelendzhik. Dmitry is one of the most decorated ultra trail runners. We would like to demonstrate what it really means to run fast up a mountain. To do that Dmitry will race an apparatus invented to avoid running uphill. We of course mean the cable car. Gelendzhik hosts the cable car route Olimp which is 1150m in length with an elevation gain of 420m and movement speed of 5,5 km/h. This is the speed of an average pedestrian on a flat road. So we have perfect conditions: a mechanical pedestrian and the fastest mountain runner. Oh yes, one small detail - the road which Dmitry will be running on - it's nonexistent. There are rocks, cliffs and sometimes grass.
