Elevation at PCT/I-10 is 1580 at mile 210.
Mission Creek Trail Camp is 7965 at mile 239.
That's 6385 feet gain in 29 miles, or 220 feet of gain per mile (average).

As for "grade percentage", the trail stays fairly low for the first 15 miles before the real climb up the east flank of San G along Mission Creek.

The mouth of Mission Creek is about 3060 at mile 225. so that's about 4905 feet of gain in about 14 miles. That would be what? A 6% grade average up Mission Creek?
(grade percentage is rise divided by distance?)
