You did well.I climbed it about 20 years ago, then it was closed to motorised traffic. Climbs in the alps are rarely that steep, just very very long. I prefer the Pyrenees, mainly because they are mostly in Spain where there more cafes and bars and it’s much cheaper.Thank you for posting.
8 inches 👀
you must have some ancestry from the netherlands. i've never seen the peak district from this angle! (sorry) how are you getting 22.2 inches? 42×18 with the hub gear reduction on 37-349 should still be ~25", no? the 12 speed brompton has potential for ultra spinny gearing. could go under 12" low gear even, without over torquing the hub. hmmm
15:31 🤣🤣🤣
Tremendous respect and to do it fully loaded is quite a feat. I would struggle on my 2×5 speeds Superlight Brompton (24 gear inches at the lowest) I think I can do it with my current fitness, but I'd be gasping for air for sure.
I'm pretty much riding on SPD Clipless pedals on my Brompton full-time. No slip, and u can backpedal to recycle ur stroke.
Congratulations Sir, an impressive achievement and an inspiring experience, 🎉👌👏👏🙌best wishes 🙏
That was one hell of an effort my friend, but it looked so miserable for you in that wretched rain. So very well done!…
