# Plan a start-to-end walk

> Walk between two points, with the laps worked out so you finish at your end point with the climb you asked for.

Set both a start and an end pin, and Summit works out how many trips between them get you the climb you asked for.

## Set both pins

1. Set your target climb as you would for [a loop](/plan-a-loop).
2. Put the start pin where you'll begin.
3. Switch to **End pin** and tap the map, or search, to set where you'll finish. The Plan card now says **Start to end**.
4. Tap **Find my route**.

## Read the result

Summit routes the walk both ways, because a hill you climb going out is one you descend coming back. Then it finds the fewest trips that reach your target and still end at your end point.

The card tells you the shape of the walk:

- **One way** means the walk from start to end already has enough climb.
- **2 laps**, **2½ laps** and so on means back-and-forth trips. A half lap is one leg. You always finish on an outbound leg, at your end point.

Under that, it says how much you'll climb and how far you'll walk in total. The elevation profile shows one outbound leg.

Tap **Start this walk** to take it to the Walk tab. The map there shows both legs.

A short steep street works well here. Pick the bottom as the start and the top as the end, and Summit tells you how many times to walk it.
