Yo, as i was riding up the fire road today, I was wondering just how far you actually climb. From the Yello Gate to say, upper Oilcan's entrance.
Anyone know?

Thanks,
Dave

I was wondering this a while ago. I was curious about distance but altitude would be interesting too.

There's no elevation change number in that thread. I can't read the little chart.

maybe find out the base elevation of the grouse gondola and the top. and maybe the base elevation of the quad up there, that should help.

380m from the water tower - 750 at 7th Secret. That's the altitude plot I took on the 7th Secret twoonie race

7% grade. Middle ring all the way!

Derek- I ride from 14 m above sea level in my house right behind the Holiday Inn!

Lynn Valley rd is 155m from the 1:50,000 topo I just checked. Dempsey and Mtn Hwy is 210m. Yellow gate is 320m
