For those of you looking for new climbing challenges here is a link to a site that share's the grade of some of the worlds greatest climbs. I've attached the link to the site and the climb that I think is one of the most challenging...the Angliru. I will never forget Seeing Heras climbing this mountian with a triple.

Here is the site:

Here's something to ponder. Mauna Kea! Makes Haleakala look like an easy Sunday ride.

I just should not have done them back to back (part of a loop), but what scenery (and cake after the ride)! Hey Ahneida, this looks like it's for you!
