The pass is near the midway point of the John Muir Trail and around mile 841 of the Pacific Crest Trail. It crosses the Goddard Divide between Mount Solomons and Mount Warlow,[1] at an elevation of 11,955 feet (3,644 m). The Muir Hut, built by the Sierra Club, is at the summit of the pass. Although the grade is gentle from both directions, snow can persist well into the summer, obscuring the trail for miles.

gollark: You can make a simple one using a shell script since those are run line by line and don't care about several megabytes of random binary on the end.
gollark: No, it probably would, self-extracting ZIPs exist.
