Yeah - that's got me thinking a little bit too. The other climbs are all fine - but I do think we probably need to do Marin early to minimize potential for traffic. From my take, not having climbed it by *bike* yet, is that the first block is pretty steep, then the intervening blocks up to Euclid are moderate to pretty steep but nothing too far out of the ordinary compared to some other climbs in the area. The top three blocks look like the worst and yes, I'm thinking zig-zagging opportunities might be a little restricted, but there are bail out, flat options at every junction on the way up. I think that breaking it into bite size pieces is the key.
