That climb wasn't long, just steep and at the end of a stage.
Yea, I caught it right when the solo break was turning into the finishing climb. All I have here is short but steep for climbs. I usually look like the poor bastage who was wobbling sideways to cut the grade if I don't hit them regularly.
I miss real climbing in a weird S&M kind of way.
