I doubt that West Alpine is steeper than Page Mill, either overall or over the steepest sections. Page Mill doesn't have a large average grade either, but there are some steep sections in the middle. Alpine might be a little longer because it has some long gradual sections. Alpine is hotter in the afternoon especially near the top.
