      5 star if you want a great tough climb. CCW. Lots of hikers so it’s best early and late in the season. I would say it’s a solid black due to the steep un relenting grade.

      Super steep and loose at the start, this is more of a black than a blue

      Steep climb from the get go. If you are looking for a workout and a great view at the end of a climb, this is your ride.
