Genting Highlands, Malaysia; Have you guys from Europe heard of The Beast of the East??? 25km with 18% gradient average see http://www.dailypeloton.com/displayarticle.asp?pk=2738

Humidity 100%, Temperature 33 deg celsius.

Try this in Malaysia. In 2007, it was ranked 4th toughest mountain to climb. I climbed the mountain twice and will be doing it again next month.

5. Col de la Madeleine; Since I have only traveled to the Dolomites and the Northern France Alps, there are still a lot of famous cols that I haven't climbed yet. But this is a list of the mountains that were really tough for me.

1.Hardknott/Wrynose 2.Tourmalet 3.Soulor/Aubisque 4.Croix de Fer 5.Bealach Na Ba / Rosedale Chimney; Britain is not known for long climbs...but it is known for its totally brutal short ones.
Hardknott(from Eskdale) or Wrynose (from Langdale) are 2 of the toughest climbs ive ever done...only 300M ascent...but these climbs see more people walking than your big continental climbs..you are really tested mentally and physically to the full on these brutes....Rosedale Chimney is also a disgraceful climb...steeper than anything else but thankfully not as long..
Of the Continental climbs ive done I found the Tourmalet the hardest...The Cirque de Litor between the Soulor and the Aubisque was mesmerising aswell. The Croix De Fer was outstanding aswell....other beautiful climbs...La Berarde...Aspin...
Most difficult Ski Station ive did is Pla D'Adet....much harder than Alpe De Huez/Luz Ardiden etc....

4:05pm 10-21-2007 Frédéric Pardé: Name of your favourite climbs
1.Angliru (from La Vega) 2.Monte Zoncolan (from Ovaro) 3.Kitzbuehler Horn (Austria) 4.Molltaler gletscher Strasse (Austria) 5.Koralpen (Austria); I have been in the quest for the toughest climbs in the world for 30 years. Austri is the place for tough climbs.Apart from the really hard climbs (see above), never underestimate the "giant" passes which may not be so steep, but get you exhausted at the end, because of length and altitude. My favorite ones are : Pico Veletta (Spain) Mount Evans (USA)and Trail Ridge road (USA) Bernina Pass (from Tirano, Italy)

4:04pm 10-21-2007 Gert Dorenbos: Name of your favourite climbs
1. Stelvio (Stilser Joch) (~2700m) 2. Col Agnel (~2700m) 3. Izouard (~2300m) 4. Croix Fer (~2100 m) 5. Col/chime de bonette (~2800); Stelvio for its incredible number of hairpins, Agnel (from guillestre) for its view over Italian alps, Izouard for its variation during the climb and moon landscape near the top, croix de fer because there is really an iron cross on top, Bonette because it's the highest in altitude that I climbed thus far.

1.Bielsa tunnel; I cycled through the Bielsa tunnel in 2002. Lighting was not a problem - I managed with ordinary (cheap)bike lights and the great thing is, if you go from France to Spain, the very peak of your climb (huge challenge with full panniers/bike weighing 80 pounds) is at the lip of the entrance to the tunnel. So, you zoom through it at about 80 miles an hour and it only takes a few moments. Would be very noisy and off putting cycling the other way and coping with the traffic. Yes. Ride down to Ainsa is amazing - 25 mile descent?? Well, felt like it anyway.

1.Passo Sella via Val Gardena 2.Villacher Alpenstraße 3.Nockalmstraße von Ebene Reichenau 4.Timmelsjoch 5.Passo Costalunga; Passo Sela via Val Gardena with 31km is the longest climb i have ever ssen with 14% maximum before Ortisei

4:03pm 10-21-2007 Reinoud: Name of your favourite climbs
1. From Locarno to Brig, via Dormodossola and the Simplon Pass; It was the most beautiful climb during my Tour de Suisse (2000). In 2 weeks from Basel to Luzern, Andermatt, Locarno, Brig, Aigle, Estavayer le Lac, Gwatt, Luzern.

4:03pm 10-21-2007 Michael: Name of your favourite climbs
1.Monte Zoncolan 2.Passo di Gavia 3.Col du Parpaillon 4.Col de la Core 5.Timmelsjoch; Timmelsjoch for the beauty of the Passeier valley. Col de la Core for the serenity. Col du Parpaillon because it is maybe the last big unsurfaced pass. Try it on a racer... Gavia because the south side is so breathtaking. Monte Zoncolan because it is much harder even than the Mortirolo.
