As said there are two significant grades.
White bird which is a 7 percent climb with an elevation change of 2760 feet in about 7.5 miles.
Lewiston Hill as we call it but when you get to the top you will ask why do we call it a hill.
Lewiston has an elevation change of 2000 feet in about 6.5 miles with a max grade of 7 percent.
White Bird probably is as difficult as the Ike Gauntlet with the exception of the elevation. The top of White Bird is only 4327 feet.
With turbo chargers may be very close. But the summer time temperature at White Bird will be considerably greater with possible temps in the high 90's or even into the 100 range.
