1000m plus climbs cycling (Mtb or Road)

[Nouwatnou]

 

Hi

Is there any 1000m plus climbs that you can do around the western cape? Obviously not multiple climbs adding up to 1000m but a single climb in access of 1000m?

Road or mtb

Road or mtb

Maclears Beacon is 1000 m

Jonaskop, near Villiersdorp, is probably your best bet. I'm not sure what the access/permission is like but it looks like an epic climb.

 

1154m of elevation, 14.7km at 8%

Phoned them last week and Jonaskop is not an option. Closed to all public

There's more, but I'm bored now.

Swartberg I posted above.

 

I excluded Ouberg, the strava segment is only 882 meters vertical gain.

We ride Jonaskop from time to time and have never had an issue.

MTB options yes (as noted above), road probably less likely.
