INTRO
Graham Johnson: This is the much lesser known, less steep dirt road up the north eastern side of Palomar. 12.3 miles at 6.3% and you get to finish on the actual summit of Palomar. Our route for this climb includes Nate Harrison Grade. High Point is this is a bumpier, more rugged road than Nate Harrison.
Matt Schubert: Starts at the Aguanga Post Office/General Store between Temecula and Anza. Exposed, sandy and rutted in spots, a section called The Demoralizer on Strava that makes you wish for a mountain bike. First time I rode up, I found snow waiting above 4000 feet. Mentally may be harder than NH because you lose some elevation with descents on the way up.
