Roadway: Narrow two lane (well, at spots even one lane) road in fair condition with some rough spots. Beware of debris on the descent.
Traffic: Minimal to 0.
Parking: Park on the side of the road 50 yards up the climb from Highway 1 - this is where they set up the rest stop for Santa Rosa Cycling Club's Terrible Two double century (Map; Street View). An alternative is to park in the Fort Ross State Park parking lot directly across the street from the start of our climb, but you must pay a fee for that.
Provisions: None on the route. The closest food and beverages are at the Jenner Sea Store or Cafe Aquatica in Jenner 11.6 miles south of the climb start (route).

Consider visiting Fort Ross State Park and walking around the old Russian Fort and community preserved on the grounds which is just across Highway 1 from climb start (Map).
