Moderate climbsestimated
Nine tenths of this trail is at or below a 14.4% grade, which is steady work rather than scrambling. Source: DEM terrain profile, low confidence.
Rollingestimated
The grade varies by 9.2 percentage points along the route rather than climbing steadily. Source: DEM terrain profile, low confidence.

Biking is listed because the access rules record an explicit permission — see the bike section below for its authority. It is never inferred from the terrain.
