One of my favorite climbs ever - I call it the elevator. The grades can range from 10 to 16% but that's what makes it great. No BS, just straight up to the top.

Man this climb is no fun... Not the fault of the trail just a result of my being out of shape. Its a nice fire road, but there isn't really much shade and can get really hot... Took me about 40 minutes, someone on google maps said 25, he must have been on an ebike or something. But once you get to the top, you have access to all the best trails and a pretty view.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
