Awesome climb and ripping fast descent. The better of several ways to climb up to the Steel Hollow trailhead. You'll have a couple short, loose and rocky sections towards the bottom followed by clean dirt the rest of the way up.

I dont know about "awesome climb". Maybe if you're in shape and capable like Nino it's an awesome climb, or on an e-bike. I thought it was excessively difficult. The climb is significantly harder than providence canyon even though they're rated the same. I can clean the providence climb with moderate effort. This thing is just a monster. It's a sick out-and-back though. Just expect to hike it more than you think.
