“The ascent of Sharon Mountain Road along Route 4 is a solid hill that is popular with area riders. Through woods and over robust grade to begin, the slope eventually becomes stair step. A car or two may pass you on this hill but not enough to influence your ride. The grade then becomes more steady as you continue to gain altitude. Near the top the pedaling gets easier and the listed climb ends at Dunbar Road on the left.” (This quote is provided with the approval of John Summerson from his book, The Complete Guide to Climbing (by Bike) in the Northeast, pg. 57.)
