What's considered a steep hill?

how steep is steep? or how long of a climb is long? I read in the touring forum about sharp inclines or long climbs and such, and just wondering what you all consider steep.

Last night I climbed a hill for 2 miles, 500 feet of elevation gain. It didn't seem that bad to me. I rode it to test out the new bike's gearing for climbing, and it did rather well. I didn't have to stop for a rest or anything!
