Just how steep is 12%??

I have a ride this Saturday in Mineral Wells. I have heard stories of Cherry Pie Hill which I have been told is 2/3 of a mile at 12%. Okay...I can handle 2/3 of a mile. But I'm not entirely sure how steep 12% is. Sounds steep. I'm a hill slug...so it may take me longer to get up this hill then it will to do the 50 miles. They give you a pin if you finish the hill....

I'm screwed. I'm fairly certain of that.
