If you have patience to fight, you'll make it eventually.

Stop running and duke it out.

I thought it was difficult...until I found the back way. If you keep to the western-most trails, there are significantly fewer mobs, and the ones there are can be dealt with relatively easily. The final mob before the entrance can just be ran past, if needed.

LOL - Just wait until he gets there and discovers what he really wants is at Marhan's Grotto.

oh no you have to fight instead of run somewhere

Are you going with other people, or just solo/or hench? I lucked out I guess when just me, one guy, and hench made it through.

The only time I've ever died trying to get to Granite Citadel is when I tried to run past the Ice Imps without Hex Removal. I hate Mind Freeze.

Amen to that.

You're blaming Anet because ...you suck? =\
I ran there by myself!

What is so special about the Citadel? Is there like sex for everyone or something? See priests touching little boys and stuff? Will the pope come out? I don't see what is so special about that place. Especially to pay 10k for a run to it.

Getting to the Copperhammer mines is the "hardest" part. The trip from there to the Granite Citadel is rather uneventful. There are a couple of patrols you'll want to pay attention to so that you don't aggro two mobs at once. And like already mentioned, stick to the west and just run past the final mob.

Damn you must suck. I went there alone with henchmen. It was long and hard but it was gratifying to say the least.
Vwoss
Congrats ZeR04U, you win.
I was expecting a rant about economy problems, unbalanced pvp, or God forbid UW soloers.

ZeR04U, I'm sure ANet hates you right back. What? You thought the last parts of the game would actually be (dare I say it?) easy? Patience young grasseater and heed the words of wisdom from the previous posters!
Gwenhywar
run, Forrest, run! And watch aggro bubble. You don't *have* to kill everything on the sight 
it would suck indeed if every area in the game was doable with the first attempt. I enjoyed a LOT trying to capture a black bear with my level 11 in Lornar's pass because it was so freaking hard for her

Granite is not that hard to get to.
Once you get there, have fun trying to capture elite skills from Mineral Springs. That's about 10x harder.

I think I made the run to cidatel a long time ago, or had someone run me. But phew, that copperhammer run is HARD. I wish I could make it...then it'd be like an ez 30k a run.
But the run to grotto is easy! Just like the port sledge run.

Why is it hard?
I can get there with hench, and cap a few elites on the way!

If you have problems that a little persistance can't handle getting to Copperhammer or Granite Citadel, perhaps you need to rethink your character's build or stop trying to run it.

Stop being a wimpy runner and fight your way there. I was in a group, we ran and died... so I said lets fight, we made it all the way to the end, we died another time and two people left (Morons)
At which point we set traps and pull the last mobs in a stream of death!
Running is for the weak. so I think it's funny how people quit after one or two deaths, I mean come on!

lolz, I calmed down and did things the old fashioned way. I get so into rushing that I leave out the fun parts of the game some times =(. Sorry everyone had to hear me rant but that's that. And as someone said, at least it wasn't about the economy
On a side note, I have to say 15K platemale looks DAMN cool.

I paid a 105 monk to run me because i was busy trying to remove my ingrowing toenail.
It's half off....ooh the puss.
Anyway, he made it on the second attempt because he got poisoned on the first...gotta love the bad spawns and DoT

Moladune-Copperhammer = Very tricky
Copperhammer-Citadel = A breeze in comparison
Citadel-Your Elite boss in Mineral Springs = Fcuking HARD!!!

The game is much easier when you are calm isn't it? A lot of times when I get really annoyed I tend to keep rushing through things over and over until I finally finish. However in retrospect I know I would have done it faster if I would just stop being so stubborn and give myself time to cool off and play with a cleared mind.

I did it with Henchmen the other night. It was a time consuming job. But if you just fight one mob at a time then heal and recharge it can be done. I tried to fight through the last group on the bridge just before the gate to Granite. This was not working. So after my last death and being -60 I just got as close as I could threw healing breeze on my fighter henches, called a target, threw healing breeze on my self and ran to the gate. That was my only "running part". We killed everything else on the way to that point.

lol Getting to Granite Citadel is hard? It's a pitty you don't have to get an Elite skill in Majesty's Rest, since that is hard.

I agree with the "why is it hard?" people here. Only my Mesmer has had trouble with it, and it's because henchamn AI has the attention span of a gnat, so I can't switch off to interrupt someonw without all my henchies running around with their heads off. Take it easy, kill the things on the way and it's fine - a necro and a ranger so far have made it. Maybe I got lucky with the skill capping in the Mineral Springs, but I found it harder to get to Mineral springs than to go in and cap. Heck, I killed a mob while afk because I had alt-tabbed to look up where my boss spawned and a patrol ran into us while I was reading. If my henchies could do it without me I imagine that it isn't too bad. Mesmer has just gotten to copperhead and done Sanyi (wow - so easy as a mesmer... Shatter Hex and chaos storm ftw...) and when I tried to go north I died, but I'm sure I'll get there, just will need to re-think things a bit.
Esprit
It's all about perseverance. I took some hench, it took 45 minutes and 60% DP, but I got there. Try fighting the end mob with 60% DP, yeah, fun stuff.
