If there is 400 feet of loss on the way up, there is 400 feet of extra gain on the way up. There is also 400 feet of gain on the way down. 6,145 + 400 + 400 = 6,945 total gain for the round trip.
Edit: 6,500’ of total gain is a bunch. 7,000’ is even more. But when you stagger back to your car, the difference is what a former boss of mine would call “mouse nuts.” It just doesn’t matter.
