If your goal is just Wahoo, the quickest way is to begin on Lake Road until you see the sign for Darwin's Revenge to the left. This is the Darwin's Connector and is a wide path, possibly an old road that tee's up to Darwin's Revenge. Turn to the right and take the trail until you see the sign for Wahoo.
The trail itself is a relatively moderate grade up for half the trail then down. No single sections of sustained steep ascents or descent.
