That's not exactly an undulation they are walking.

I'm not sure of the name on that hill. I believe it is "The Steiner," it's about 2 miles of consistent 17-20% grade. I think it is more challenging than "The Wall" which hits you for 300 yards after being worn down. Did 'em both, both years without a foot on the ground.
