This is an "outlier" climb by Marin County standards - only 1,030 Strava segment attempts as of August 29, 2015 versus over 30,000 for climbs closer to "civilization" and the very popular Mt. Tam routes. However, this is an enjoyable and unique climb in a remote area of Marin where you are likely to encounter no one during your 4.4 trek to the top. There are great views of the Pacific Ocean and coastline to the west and one spot where we have a great view of Napa County's Mt. St. Helena some 50 miles north.
5% average grade (6.1% climb only). 13% of the route is descent, 36% is in the 0-5% grade range, 40% is at 5-10%, and 11% is at 10-15% grade. The steepest quarter-mile is 10.2%.

Good luck finding this climb as there are no signs! Once you do however, the first mile has very rough road conditions but manageable. The first two miles are a series of kickers around each curve with 10-15% grade but then it levels off to around 7% to recover. Last two miles are a mild climb. Scenery is beautiful throughout with almost no cars (saw 3 cars the whole climb and decent) and it feels extremely relaxing and calming to be up there off the beaten path. Grab your gravel/ mountain bike and enjoy the views or do it on a road bike and brace for a bumpy decent!
