The Haleakalā climb starts in Paia, at 46 m of elevation, in Hawaii. The route follows the Paia side for 57.7 km to the summit. From this low point, the road almost never drops: total descent over the whole route is just 115 m.
After Paia (km 0, 46 m), the road climbs to Makawao, at 496 m, at km 10.1. Past this village, the ascent continues with no stop in between: the longest climb of the ascent runs from km 23.6 to the summit at km 57.7, a single stretch of 2,001 m of elevation gain.
The summit of Haleakalā sits at 3,045 m, for a total elevation gain of 3,055 m from Paia. The average grade of the climb is 5.3%, over a distance of 57.7 km: the gap between the 46 m start and the 3,045 m summit sets the scale of the climb.

58 km and 3,055 m of elevation gain from Paia, according to Wikipedia. Plotrek's route, drawn on OpenStreetMap roads, measures 57.7 km between Paia and Haleakalā. The start, Paia, is at 46 m; the finish, Haleakalā, at 3,045 m. On the route, the computed average gradient is 5.2%.
5.3% on average over 58 km from Paia, according to Wikipedia. On Plotrek's route, the computed average gradient is 5.2% over 57.7 km. This calculation divides the altitude difference between the start (46 m) and the finish (3,045 m) by the distance covered. An average smooths out both the steeper sections and the flatter ones.
3,055 m, according to Wikipedia. On Plotrek's route, the summit is measured at 3,045 m, at km 57.7, with altitudes from a terrain model. The foot of the climb, Paia, sits at 46 m on the route. The highest point of the route is its finish.
