"There are only a few things that most American cyclists know by just a word or two. And The Wall is perhaps the most fearsome. Probably the most feared.
"Less than a mile, averaging eight percent, with its most famous, most leg-crushing grade reaching seventeen percent, The Wall climbs up Levering Street and into Lyceum Avenue in the Philadelphia neighborhood of Manayunk." ~Cycling Weekly
"Perhaps no climb in the U.S. has as much history as the Manayunk Wall in Northwest Philadelphia." ~Velo
