Did this climb during the annual "The Rake" hill climb race on 13 October 2024. The first part from Carr street is not too difficult, but once you get onto Rawson's Rake it gets really steep and also bumpy. During the hill climb event there was tremendous support for us participants, but if you do this on your own, prepare to suffer alone for a few minutes with ramps of up to 23％!
