I think the part of Haskins Hill that's important starts at the righthand sweeper where Pescadero Rd. joins West Alpine [1]. You're right about the slope on Haskins going the direction of the Pescadero RR. Going the other way is much tougher, I think. I should also point out that after one has crested the hill, the first couple of left turns can be a bit hectic. They're decreasing radius, slightly off-camber and gravity-fed. Something to pay attention to or you can end up in the whoopie bushes halfway to Loma Mar. Just sayin'.

Haskins is not really a hill, compared to other hills around. Less than 8mins, not steep at all. The problem is when you do it in a race, then it hurts......
