I've also walked up Baldwin Street in New Zealand, the world record holder at
35%, and wasn't impressed - only gets crazy steep in the last 30 feet or so.
But then I'm biased because I'm proud of my neighborhood's insane hills.

This year's Fargo Street climb is in about a week, March 15th, organized by
the LA Wheelmen. Not a race, but a friendly contest to see who can climb it
the most times in a row. Ouch. The city lists it as 32%, most folks say
it's 33%, sometimes it's claimed to be 35%. I'm a believer in the 33%
Fargo St in Los Angeles is supposed to be really steep.
I seem to remember a 33% or 35% grade. It's been a long time.
I think a race is held on it as well.

Great set. There's a lot of killer hills in San Diego. Close to my work
there's a 28.6 grade (Poe St. in Point Loma) which I plan to ride up on a
lunch hour. Hopefully it will make the 400 foot climb home seem easier.

You are an animal! I took an easy ride up to the Interurban and back
from QA yesterday, that was plenty for me.

Sounds like a great idea. I'm going to probably scout out a few others
next weekend. After I find them all I hope to do a one day tour of
all.

My wife and I had dinner in San Francisco on Valentine's Day. The
only parking space we could find was on the 1100 block of Filbert St.
It's steep enough to have stairs instead of flat sidewalks. It's so
steep that all parking is 90 degrees to the curb to prevent runaways.
So steep my bride
I just Googled it - it's tied for the steepest street in The City at
31.5%. Riding up is not an option, it's one way going down.

So, how steep is Seattle?
The steepest one on my list is 21%...paltry compared to those SF
hills. The steepest
