Of course that is a mile long. but 37% is amazing. You can't pave something that steep so it much be built of stones. They do that in Europe here and there mostly in small villages |

You can't pave something that steep so it much be built of stones. =v= Many Pittsburgh streets are brick, with cobblestone for the especially steep sections. =v= I grew up biking these streets, and have long been puzzled by people saying that San Francisco is a hilly place to ride. :^) _Jym_ |

A hundred yards or so is manageable but as I said, we have a 20% grade of a mile in a couple of places around SF bay. Not that I'd go riding that when for only 6 miles you can get around it. :-) |
