From my run up Pikes Peak on Sunday. I call this the "Mountains of Madness" after a novella by H.P. Lovecraft. As you run from the "three miles to go" sign to the "two miles to go" sign you know you have to reach the base of this monolith before you reach the sign... then you have the long traverse and a couple more switchbacks before you reach the "one mile to go sign"...
