According to what I can figure out on gmap pedometer using the elevation function, George St. is about 80ft of climb in .10 miles. A steep hill, no question, but still very climbable. Parker Hill Ave up to the bend in Mission Hill is over 100ft in .16 miles, but if you climb after the bend as well, to the peak of the hill, it's 170ft in .35 miles.

For any reason other than nostalgia, that little climb isn't worth the commuter train fare.

There are people that hit that hill on a fixed gear for that race they do, although I've never seen any of them do very well......
