Absolute grade
How about a simple feature to calculate relative steepness called “absolute grade”? It would simply take the absolute value of the grade for any given climb or descent, and divide it by distance. For example, when I ran the Headlands 100M, which gains and loses about 20K feet over the distance, absolute grade would come out to 7.6%. That’s an exceptionally useful number to have, and must be extremely easy to calculate.
