Pine Creek ==> 7425'
8 miles, average grade 7%, max grade 11%, elevation gain 3000'
Relatively easy climb, getting hot by now, and this area tends to get less wind than some other climbs.
Route
See the route from N Round Valley Rd / Pine Creek Rd to the summit of Pine Creek. The first mile or so is relatively flat, but the grade steepens at Rovana.
Route shown does not include intervening “junk miles”, which are not so junky.

Approaching Rovana just prior to steep portion of Pine Creek
