What Does 25% Grade Look Like?

This morning teigyr and I were admiring the local toughie--what we refer to as Claimjumper Hill (at the bottom of Southcenter for the locals). It's a 21% grade.

I've ridden down it, and I've seen people ride up it. Slowly. Very slowly .

East Hill

augh! my husband admires that stupid hill all the time. my first experience on it was in winter fog in an old PU truck with weak brakes. AUGH! horrible.
now I just glare at it when i drive by.

PS Jiffer, you can't tell from a 2 dimensional photo what the percent inclination of a hill is, sorry. And I know there are much steeper hills than 12% right here in town, and I'm not using a flakey Garmin. Photos are deceptively, well, FLAT!
