The first part of the trail reminded me of driving stick in stop-and-go traffic where you can’t get past 2nd gear. Sort of relentless but not brutal incline. But then you get 2/3 of the way up and it levels out and it feels like you can finally put it in 3rd gear and take it easy. The trail is great, the views spectacular.
