After realizing the peaks of all four martian mount's are in permanent contact with the martian jet streams, I wondered if these mount's could be used for the construction of great tubes or chimneys, running from base to summit. Perhaps launch tubes constructed on these mount's could be used for power generation during the off-season?

The frame of the device acts like a kite, keeping it aloft.
