I have no desire to climb stuff that steep. We have one road that gets to 22% and I hate it, but it is on one of my regular routes. It's not super long and the trick to doing it is keeping your speed up and cranking, but by the top it's just a nightmare. You never get better at it, it just always sucks. 8% stuff and below is good for me.
