>> a 30% grade is like the average hill here. So the steepest roads in the world have small sections where the grade exceeds 30%; none maintain it or "average"

- nradov 1y agoSeriously. Even the Mauna Kea volcano climb doesn't have 30% grades. https://www.strava.com/segments/1504789 https://www.strava.com/segments/1504789
- Spunkie 1y agoYa sorry I always get it mixed up with the % grade thing. When I'm in my car the dash reads on the hills here between 12° all the way up to 16° on the switchback into the valley. The new market is up a 14° hill. So closer to ~24% grade average maybe? It's damn steep is the point regardless.
