Hi,
I would love to see the "climb ratings" for cycling in the height profiles on Garmin Connect.

The general guidelines used at Le Tour for rating cycling climbs:
"The easiest is a Category 4, which is typically less than 2km long and about 5 percent grade, or up to 5km at a 2-3 percent grade.
A Category 3 can be as short as one mile with a very steep grade, perhaps 10 percent; or as long as six miles with a grade less than 5 percent.
A Category 2 can be as short as 5km at 8 percent, or as long as 15km at 4 percent
A Category 1, once the highest category, can be anything from 8km at 8 percent to 20km at 5 percent.
An hors catégorie (“above category”) rating is given to exceptionally tough climbs. This could either be a Category 1 whose summit is also the finish of the stage, or one that is more than 10km long with an average grade of at least 7.5 percent, or up to 25km miles long at 6 percent or steeper."

Mapmy ride (which I used befor e I had my Gramin) has this and I find this a nice feature when evaluating the rides you have done.
Thanks for taking this into account,
Pieter
