gemmerbal Posted January 26, 2021 Share the only way plebs will make it up that climb is with an eeeeeeeeeebike... im a Buffalo and i managed it in 3 hours with my donkey running a 34x11/46 setup. it was hell... bought a new SLX 10/51 the next week but havent been back since then. still cant get my head around it: 3hours up, 25mins down... haha..nice one, hope it stays open for all/doesn't get ruined by the plebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of interest, do you know about the Galgeberg climb near McGregor? 959m climbing in 11km so broadly similar to Jonaskop. The first half is gravel, but the second half on tar you do 635m climbing in 5.7km (where you do 1/2 the climbing in a 1/3rd of the distance of Jonaskop) https://www.strava.com/segments/12851977 https://www.strava.com/segments/9309316 babse, Paul and NickGM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great! I will make a trip out there in the next few weeks. I am always looking for new climbs to ride. Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
