2020 edition of possibly the hardest climb in the Malibu Hills. Rises quickly from Pacific Coast Highway, the first 2.2 miles averages 12% with no respite, and pushes every rider to the limit. The next section is rolling, but watch out for one 20%+ ramp. The ride then descends to Yerba Buena, which a hard climb in its own right, feels like a relief after Deer Creek, though maybe not so by the time you reach the top, many miles later.
