It's a non-stop short climb that gets progressively steeper with no switchback breaks. Just doing 2 intervals there will kick your butt! The downhill is fun, but you have to watch your cornering and speed since there's a sports complex at the top so there's a few cars that go up and down, though I'd say it's much safer than riding up Griffith Observatory with the tourists traffic.
