    The harder (100 Climbs) side of this monster pass. Not the way the Tour de France did it...

      The better side of Buttertubs, a much more interesting and challenging climb

        April 9, 2020

        A tougher prospect than the Southern ascent. 3 significant tough bits. The first 800m sustains 10%+ with ramps of 18%. After a brief respite, hairpins ramp up to 20% (it says 25, but it isn't). At 500m altitude, there is a rolling downhill, although you may still need to pedal as the prevailing wind will be in your face and it is rarely less than 'fresh'! The sting in the tail is a 20% ramp. Your pace will have been sapped by the drag up to the ramp. Factor in the headwind, this can be tough+. Enjoy.
