Your full of ****. Put up a profile of this 2 mile, all up hill, ~19
percent grade trail at Mount Falcon.

Castle trail has the greatest gain at 2095 ft., but it is a 10 percent
average grade over its ~4 miles.

Parmalee has some ~18 percent pitches, but entire trail both up and
down is only 2 miles.

You are a self-aggrandizing idiot.
