How Much Faster Is The Best Climber In The World?

How much of a head start do you need in a race against the world’s best climber up an epic climb? At the Global Bike Festival, we tried to beat the #1 ranked climber on Strava, Andrew “The Twig” Feather, to the top of the 2571m high Grossglockner / Edelweissspitze. This brutal climb (14km at 10.8%) stands between us and glory. Can Feather chase us down? Useful Links: GCN | Every. Unmissable.
