Difficulty from verified grades

Along-trail grade distribution (by distance): 30% gentle, 24% moderate, 24% steep. Bands describe slope magnitude from the DEM profile, not trail difficulty labels from guidebooks.

Average climbing grade on ascent samples is about 9.6%.

The steepest rolling uphill grade in the verified profile reaches about 20.2%.

The steepest sustained climb spans about 0.1 mi near 5.1 mi into the trip (mean ~16.4%, peak ~20.2%).

Verified DEM grades show climbing concentrated earlier in the trip.
