I climbed it a few years ago and it isn't bad. Just settle into a steady pace and don't expect to get much opportunity to "coast". The biggest issue that I encountered was when they released a bike group from the top, many of the riders never considered the fact that someone might be riding up the hill instead of going down it. I had several near misses. More than a few people seemed to be unfamiliar with how a bicycle works. I assumed that some of them had not been on a bike in years.
