If I had to go up a steep grade I would be wheezing constantly.

That's funny. Actually I didn't do too bad going up. Of course I didn't go up in 45 mins like I did when I was in my 20's and 30's.
But it still only took me a bit over an hour. According to the topo maps its a 600+ elevation climb with a steepness on average a bit worse than climbing a set of stairs. But its my favorite spot. I shot 3 bear and I believe 6 buck from basically the same spot.
