Jeez, what a wuss!

Have you tried going up Quimby, yet? According to my Grant Petersen book, it's got a gentle 2 mi. uphill, followed by a not so gentle 10% uphill for a mile, about a quarter mile at 7%, finishing up with a nice 11.5% climb for another 1.5 miles. Not much shade, either. Sounds like fun, huh?
