Damn that's steep. Back in Seattle, there was a 4-lane street that was a 21% grade I routinely drove that seemed as if to go "straight up." And lots of little steep blocks in downtown Seattle as you got further away from the Bay.

I want to see someone try and rollerblade up all ten of those! cool.gif

there are a couple of streets in and around the Chesapeake that are sometimes crazy. i can't imagine how people manage when there's sleet or snow. there's like 50 foot drops on both sides.
