I’m interested in solving this fun problem: how do I walk from point A to point B in a reasonable length of time, while maximizing time (or distance?) spent on inclines/hills? Walking on flat roads is boring.

Typical walk planners have already solved a similar but opposite problem: how to walk from point A to B in a reasonable length of time, while avoiding hills. How much harder could it be to seek out hills to climb, while not moving away from the destination?
