"The west side of Hurricane Mountain Road near North Conway is an even steeper climb than its east side but just a bit shorter and also along a dark and narrow route. Although it has somewhat similar statistics this side seems to have a more ominous look and feel as you ride it. A variable grade will wear you down and the maximum grade is near the top just before a steep right hand turn. From this point the listed top is close and it is unmarked but obvious as the grade decreases dramatically. Due to its steep grade and narrow gauge it is also a difficult descent."

The first climb I ever did in New England, this one is short and sweet but over solid double digit grade. The narrow road gives it somewhat of an alpine feel. Descend its east side and turn around for some sobering hill repeats!
