From Wikipedia:

    with an average grade of 45% (24°) and as steep as 68% (34°) in places

When I'm hiking (though without steps), 40% is when I start to think "this trail is really steep." Those sections are usually brief, not average for 0.88 miles. 68% is crazy steep.

It was incredibly intense. Basically like going up stairs for a mile, but sometimes the stairs are more like climbing ladders. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done.
