Difficulty of Segment 8

imported
#1

I am wondering if any mountain bikers out there could tell me if Segment 8 is tougher to ride than 7 was from Breck to Copper. I typically ride with my 13 yr son and he had a very hard time on 7. He did great with 6 however. I see the incline is spread over more miles so easier or not?
