Trail VisibilityAlways easy to follow
This is a service road that starts off like a nice little grind through the switchbacks, then it gets worse. Not really loose, although you want to pick your line because of the steepness. Not unlike a lot of ski resort access roads, but this is one of the most common ways to access one of the most popular rides around, and you cannot shuttle it.
Nicknamed "Puke Hill"

This climb is what separates those with fitness and mental strength from those who don’t. About half of the riders will quit at 80% up when it gets a tiny bit steeper. Not hard to clear it, if you can keep traction on the loose rocks and dig in

Only the beginning half mile is steep. Put it in granny gear and meander up the road. Not nearly as bad as the description sounds. Probably more of an altitude issue than a steepness issue.

I've ridden this at least annually since 1994. Veteran advice: there is no shame in walking - most riders do. The reward is significant. Use that "granny gear" big enough to serve a turkey dinner, and you'll at least get a good run into it. Some riders will grind it straight to the top.
Definitely gets your blood going and reminds me of climbing the Germania Pass road in Alta: steep as *$#@.
