"Perhaps the most difficult climb in the state, the north side of Keel Mountain Road near Huntsville, AL is a short but very steep test. The road is steep immediately so be ready early on this one as the first mile is one of the steepest in the U.S. Just under a mile into the assault the road turns to the right and eases a bit shortly thereafter. The grade is variable from here and only eases near the top at an intersection..."
