INTRO
This is a very peaceful climb which is referred to by locals as the premiere climb of the Peninsula, and rightly so. The climb is challenging, but with a very consistent grade. I kept a close eye on my Garmin the entire climb and only a couple times did it briefly register 10% (a few seconds at 11% once).
This climb averages 7.5% - climb 3.3 miles gaining 1,300' with 0 descent. The grade for the entire climb is remarkably consistent - 99% of the climb is at grade 5-10%. The steepest quarter-mile is 8.8% and steepest mile 8.1%.
