It’s the video you’ve been waiting for… we’re back at the brutal Salita Scanuppia in Italy, the legendary climb that could be the steepest road in the world! After Ollie tried & failed to ride up its mythical 40% slopes, we’re back with Strava’s #1 ranked climber, Andrew Feather, a.k.a. “The Twig”. Will he be able to do what Ollie couldn’t and conquer the world’s hardest cycling climb?!

Looking up the times and power numbers on strava from other people, I can definetely say Ollie could have managed it with easier gears. Ideally you could fit a 34 inner chainring to Alex's super gravel GRX 1x setup So, how many likes would you need for us to see the re-match?

@Mububban23 Год назад

Yeah I didn't think 38-44 was that easy, my MTB has 32-46 easiest gearing and it might take me all day, but I can climb up some pretty gnarly stuff, and I'm rubbish. Give a super fit rider some even easier gearing and they should manage this climb.

Feather content is the currently the one I enjoy the most. He is just a great guy and such a ridiculous climber.

@@gcn How about an everesting record? Some weeks of training featured in the GCN show with a stand alone video of the actual attempt 😁

He holds all the KOM's round my way. I love to hear him groan and struggle here.... Just like i do on all the climbs he has beasted easily.

If you're ready for a real challenge and you like to travel: try the Grasberg Mine in Papua, Indonesia. 50 km at 7%. The first 11 km are 16% in average, and after you've reached the central town of Tembagapura, the last 21 km are above 10%. Currently the hardest climb on Earth by the metrics of La Flamme Rouge.
