Ha.

I consider the possibility of an everest ride, & think about pavement, traffic, grade, & food/water,

but never thought about wear on the brakes. It represents somewhat over a month's worth of normal elevation gain for me,

& I don't really think about brake wear more than once a year, so I'll resume not thinking about it.



I think the climbing should be continuous bottom to top with no dips, but coasting to a stop at the bottom doesn't seem like an issue.

Theoretically, the ride could be one climb with no descending at all.
