This is a wonderful climb near Mt. Lassen in Northern California. In an alpine setting from the start, we travel a fairly short distance (4.4 miles) at a moderately tough gradient (7% average) to the top of the climb with views of Mt. Lassen along the way. We feel like, and are in, a remote area during the entire climb. (although 126 Strava riders had done at least one climb on our route as of July, 2016). The road often fluctuates in gradient - 15% then 5% then back to 15% - the 7% average grade is a bit misleading as there are many points along the route where we have to really push the pedals.

I’ve done this ride twice. I park my car in Manton and do the climb first, then I descend to my car. I’ve done this in the summer, can get very hot. Bring lots of water, start early. This climb does have 15% pitches and 2 miles of very steep continuous climbing. There are short “relief” sections along this route, so you can recover a bit before it pitches upwards again. Traffic is very low. Small town backroad. Some homes along the way, the people are very friendly if you need water. The first time I road this I had to bail out, call for a ride. The temps got over 100 degree and I bit off more miles than I should have, ran out of water. The two other times I rode this it’s was wonderful.
