Everyone knows that there are hills in San Francisco. Anyone who hasn't been there can't even comprehend the insanity of these hills. They think 'Oh, big deal. I've seen lots of hills.' Seriously. These hills are INSANE!!! I do a lot of hiking. When you hike, you expect to see some hills. If I saw a hill like some of these on a hiking trail, I would just turn around and say 'screw this! It's not worth it.' AND THEY BUILT A CITY ON THIS!!! It's NUTS! So... I did a google search for the steepest blocks in the city, and found the top ten list and circled each one on my map. So I hit them all. Just when I would think 'I have never seen a hill like this in my life' I would turn a corner and hit one on the top ten list and think 'Holy SHIT!' It's just like climbing a vertical wall. Coming down is like that first drop on a roller coaster.
