Oh, and speaking of mountains, if you think the terrain is bad on this
approach, check out the southern arc landing on 27. They have you
inbound at 10900 then drop you down to 9100 only a few miles from a peak
at 8499. Yikes.

If you look at the Jeppesen chart the same obstacle is 8,875. Quite a
difference, heh? ;-)

Having said that, you are still at 10,900 when you fly over that
terrain. You don't start down to 9,100 until another 3.7 miles or so.
That is a lot more vertical and horizontal clearance than required by TERPS.
