You are right about the amount of climb but I think the round trip distance on the Tourmalet is less making it steeper. I rode the Tourmalet in 05. What a great climb! Have fun
Thanks,there is a 1 1/2 mile decent in the middle of Little T so the elevation gain is repeated somewhat but it's no way as steep as the graph you sent me. Probably 7%-8%. I would love to do the real one some day.
