Yeah, I was fortunate in that the amount of traffic was virtually nil for my entire ride home. I hit that hill around 11:30 PM. It was about an 8 minute climb once I had it sussed. I can't recall in 6 years being passed on that hill from either direction. Doing switchbacks on any busy road is strongly ill-advised. lol
