steepest 1/4 miles between Springer Mtn and Damascus

hi old boots, I never set a foot on the AT, so where is Jacob's Ladder?, is it between Sweetwater Gap and Brown Fork Gap Shelter?

I would have guessed it to be that climb out of Stecoah gap (NOBO) as the steepest.
But then, maybe it doesn't show up on Google earth. But it's there.

+1 on Stecoah Gap climb
