My garmin edge once gave me a reading of 20% which it might well be. I stopped looking at the grade reading as it would just psych me out on long climbs. Grades tend to fluctuate on long climbs anyway. I did a ride last year where one of the hills hit a grade of 24% at one brief point, but the overall average wasn't as bad as another shorter hill that had a longer 20% grade to it.
