Mt. Tam Grade(s)
My wife and I are going to try Mt. Tam tomorrow, either all the way to the summit or a few miles short of that. I've got the elevation profile of course, but what I'm really interested in are the stretches of double digit grades which are tough on the tandem. 50 yds. doesn't count, but can someone comment on how much climbing over 10% to expect?
As a point of reference how would anyone compare Tam with the climb up to Henry Coe Park?

Maybe a mile total on Bolinas Fairfax & right after the Dam?
Tam isn't too bad. If 50 yards doesn't count you should be fine!
