Mads Posted March 22, 2014 Share A while ago there was a thread on the steepest hills in the Western Cape. Can't seem to find it. Search did not help Can someone help me in the right direction - or was it lost with the big bang?

Capricorn Posted March 22, 2014 Share some interesting infoon the vissershok climb. Cippo: how are climbs classified? Quick squizz of the interwebs doesn't generate a firm understanding of how its done. One site just says its generally based on any climb with 3% gradient or more, and then the categories are based on the length of the climb.Some subjectivity is involved for races, where a climb can jump a category if only because its at the end of a particularly hard part of the race. Typical explanation I've found.
