Kaien

A short, very steep climb above Grub (AR) in Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The hardest 500 metres average 24.2% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 9 to 15 minutes. Its 3.3 TEP puts it in the easier half of the catalogue. Facing northeast, it gets the morning sun and is shaded after that. Graded mountain hiking: rougher ground where footing starts to matter. The nearest named summit, Kaienspitz at 1,121 m, is 761 m away.
