Here are a couple of pictures of the climb.

I've done that. (my mom lives in Charleston). I'm not sure Summit Ridge is as steep but its got to be close. Ridewithgps said maximum was 28.5%, but I think 20% is more accurate. And Summit Ridge goes on for 1500 vertical.

I'd said it's essentially Foxchase times 4.
