the first part is a bit easier now because of the new bridge. before, you have to go down the river before climbing up. that very steep off-road section is called "mga buko-buko sa buaya" as per local habal-habal drivers 😂
It's a climb 1/4 mile from my house, I live on the side of a hole. I climb to start my rides and climb to finish them, and I ride dreaming of flats and wish I lived near one.
100% I'm not climbing that. Max 25% maybe for 30 seconds to a minute then I'm done. I'll walk the bike up faster, to me that's when there's no point in riding up it, I'm not getting paid to do this! I'll do 100 miles a few thousand gain no problem though.
