The summit rise is 14701-8200 = 6501 feet. The "grade" is that rise divided by the horizontal distance, expressed as a percent.
Just to quibble a bit, there are no mountains in Colorado that are that high. Grade numbers are usually applied to roads and areas of constant slope, NOT to entire mountains.
Whoever dreamed up this question needs a refresher course in math and geography
