This is the climb that was used in the Everesting World record. It's 1km of straight, relentless torture. The approach allows you to see the full climb looming ahead, like sheer wall. Wonderful.

Savage 1km ramp but it lets up a couple of times before you’re absolutely gasping again. Serious type 2 fun
