What do you consider a "tough" hill?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Not Seattle, it's across the Columbia from Chelan. Right off the BeeBee bridge. It's called McNeil Canyon Rd. It was the last big hill in the Chelan Century.

Another good climb is off of Lake Wash. Blvd, just north of Leschi. As you're going north take the first street after Jefferson (I think) and whenever an intersection presents itself, take the steeper choice.
