As a mountain biker, I do the climb to enjoy the downhill.
On gravel, I prefer shorter climbs and shorter downhills over one giant climb and downhill.
Would I go? Absolutely. Would that be a regular ride for me? Idk. I would have to ride it first.
Nice! Where is this?
Yes
So long as the ride was worth the effort
I rode the Oregon Outback this summer, and there were a couple climbs like this – not the scenery, but the grade – on shared roadway: coming up and into the Prineville reservoir (oof) and the climb out of Antelope. They weren’t fun in the moment, but definitely earned a “hell yeah” after the fact.
Sure – if it wasn’t a crazy hot day. It doesn’t look that far or that steep. Route details? Do you know the length and avg. grade?
Last time I was in Moab there was a guy doing repeats on the ramp into Arches National Park

I would ride that climb just for fun even if there was no gravel involved.
Absolutely!
I like climbing, but get sketched out by heights/dropoffs, so it’s making me a bit nervous.
Is this the entrance to aches
I’ve ridden a lot worse than that. That climb has views.
On Sunday I climbed a mud road straight up a ski slope for 1000 feet. And the descent wasn’t even good 🤣.
Stupid mountain bike race.
