Difficulty from verified grades

Along-trail grade distribution (by distance): 31% steep, 20% gentle, 18% mostly level. Bands describe slope magnitude from the DEM profile, not trail difficulty labels from guidebooks.

Average climbing grade on ascent samples is about 11.3%.

The steepest rolling uphill grade in the verified profile reaches about 26.1%.

The steepest sustained climb spans about 0.2 mi near 4.6 mi into the trip (mean ~20.8%, peak ~26.1%).

Verified DEM grades show climbing concentrated later in the trip.
