I think the one you're thinking about will be featured in my next blog post (Rattlesnake Ridge). That's the one that had over 2500' of climbing in a little over 4 miles and was tough! This one was around 1000' of climbing in a little less than a mile, so I guess that makes it a bit steeper, but I didn't find it aggressive since it was manageable in length. At least for me, the climbing that goes on and on and on is more difficult. This one had a few rocky bits here and there and a couple of stepped areas with rocks, along with a couple of rocky but not difficult creek crossings. I don't think you'd find it too tough. It seemed like a breeze after Rattlesnake Ridge!
