The ride from Cumberland up to the continental divide was not nearly as daunting as you might have heard. It is simply a steady climb up for many miles, but not at all hard, plus there are plenty of places to stop along the way to take in the view.
Agreed, it’s not a hard climb by any measure of the word. I’d classify it more as “annoying” since it’s basically just a 2% slog for a couple of hours.
Running it west to east though there’s roughly 60 miles of 1% climb from about Confluence to the Continental Divide, honestly not sure which is more annoying
