I don't think it ever got up to a 10%. so maybe 9%. but it was so relentlessly steep. It never flattened out below 5% once we got started. and those 5% parts went VERY quickly.
The thing i was originally afraid of was that i read a report that said the average grade was 8%. I thought that meant there's lots above and below, and if there was any downhills, that reduces the average grade. But there was no downhilll, nor even any gentle slopes.
almost the whole ride was between 6-8%
