There are a few ways of climbing Helix, and most of them are very different from the long slogs of Soledad or Honey Springs indeed (well, unless you do Soledad from the Country Club or Bridges/Hillside Dr routes, those are similar to Helix; short but steep ramps with breaks in between). <br /><br />The most mellow route would be, if you start from La Mesa, to take Lemon east all the way to Fuerte, then go up Mt Helix Dr all the way to the top. The hardest/steepest route is to go up Grandview, then left on McRonald, and wind your way to Beaumont and then Alto Dr, cut off to Halo Ct short cut, and pop up on the last ring of Mt Helix Dr. That's just one steep ramp after another with no break. It's gorgeous out there, tho, so the pain is worth it. ;) <br /><br />Here's a video from the last time I went roaming around there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsegNTVyfPc <br />Route: https://www.strava.com/activities/1367117593 (was meeting some friends in Rancho San Diego, hence the loop to Jamacha Rd).<br /><br />Have a great ride!Smorghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604438508775705758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233448095611235541.post-52670622225930011622018-04-06T12:03:53.369-07:002018-04-06T12:03:53.369-07:00Hi, next sunday ill be doing MT Helix for the fist...Hi, next sunday ill be doing MT Helix for the fist time,<br />how does this climb compares to Mt Soledad or Honey Springs?
