8km (20% average) 45% at steepest .the bit at 2min 6 secs is unbelievable. this guy has done it all with one dab/fall and taking 1 1/2 hrs from top to bottom.

Don't think that video does it justice really, as I doesn't look "that" hard. Having said that I wouldn't be able to do it. Lol

What tyres for? Actually what is that surface - all sorts of funny sounds.

It's more like 17% average gradient, but yeah, still super impressive.

Obv. very different, but I'm still amazed by chris akriggs effort on the 'wrong' bike setup on this cobble wobble:

I think I could safely beat the time of 1.5 hours from top to bottom ๐Ÿ˜€ However it is a moot point as I would not even get 10% up there!

Yeah, I'd give it a go. Looks like ridiculously grippy surface from the way he's riding it, but does look very doable.

45% though, that's steep. I think it would be fun.

Its pretty much a road? I don't think I'd try it with 23mm tyres though, don't think it would be enough.
