I probably shouldn'ta laughed, but I did.
On the other side of that coin, there's a wonderful pass in Washington State, Cayuse Pass. From the south, it's about 12 miles of mostly 6%-7%. I once crested it coming from the north, an easier climb. As took a break, a very large and heavy woman was finishing the climb from the south on an MTB. All honors to her! That's how it's done. I clapped, hope she took it the right way.
