Mount Hollywood Drive

The climbing is front-loaded — most of the 391 ft of gain lands in the first half of the 4.2 miles. The main climb starts around mile 0.51 and runs 0.69 miles, gaining 226 ft at an average 6.2%. The steepest sustained pitch averages 8.3% and begins just past mile 0.09. You finish 387 ft below the start, so an out-and-back saves the climbing for the return.
