There are some surprisingly steep trails on the northern edge of Teague Hill.

Another discovery--when passing Sophie going the wrong way for the second time in two hikes--is that some apps have no method for showing the direction of a route. While the owners long-ago discovered this fact, a sizeable subset staunchly refuses to extract the direction beforehand, resulting in failures when the route becomes (mathematically) a complex closed curve.
