Frith Hill is the sensible alternative to the Missenden Wall, which passes underneath it. But Frith Hill is a decent climb in it's own right, hitting close to double digit gradients. If you hug the inside of the road at the awkward turning off the Chesham Road it will be very steep indeed.

For people I ride with, Frith Hill is a dreaded inevitability towards the end of a club ride, when the legs are already tired. It's a climb that will split a group wide apart, despite not being very long.

Not worth detouring for, but often a means to an end - e.g. getting onto the road to The Lee to head north across country. I sometimes prefer Leather Lane (which is no easier, but less busy), but that's closed at the moment, for HS2 works. I'll submit it when it reopens.
