Make a right from the airport and you connect to the GAP. Same terrain as the GAP just a little more compressed.

My hill (Beaver Grade Road) which you likely climbed and Stueben St ar no big deal IMHO. But I am used to it.

I was actually going from Fort Pitt towards the airport. Google maps didn't tell me about riding the north side of the river. I tend to take the suggestions from Google maps with a grain of salt but they got me that time.
