Short pieces 10% of course. Scroll down an click on segments like Kiler, Cypress, etc.
If you look at that Strava elevation profile and drag the cursor through it slowly you will notice many short sections exceeding 10%. In fact there are several short pitches exceeding 25%, both up and downhill!!! It may only average 8 to 10% but 25% is still STEEP!
