Nah. I've only ever done it solo. Haven't ridden with a group in about 20 years.
It's not so much that it's steep. More that it's LONG with a couple steep pitches with no shade like the one where I keep wanting to stop if there were. Plus there's a dip near the top where, even though you don't have to pedal, you're cognizant of giving up altitude you'd fought hard to gain, and that you'll just have to gain again. Like paying for the same real estate twice.
