How does that compare to S Corbett between florida and nebraska street? College seems much longer, but I remember having a hard time even walking down Corbett without feeling like I was going to fall and roll down the hill.

Corbett has flats. College never levels off. And college is steeper

College is longer and super steep. But the steep section of Corbett is definitely steeper than anything on College.

The maximum grade on Corbett is maybe 21%.
