If you ride gospel pass along the unmarked road from just outside Hay on Wye there are no downhill bits and you an enjoy 8km of full on climbing! Clee Hill is a local climb near me which is 4.1 miles with gradients of around 15%max.

1.Hurricane Mt road. N Conway,N.H nice & quiet and steep 2.Kankamangus Hwy ,New Hampshire Good shoulder, beautiful road. 3.? 4.Mt Washington 5.Mt Washington
Hardest climb has got to be Mt Washington. 8 miles of back breaking anaerobic oxygen debt.I did it a couple times just after mtn bikes caught on on the eighties.I wished i had one then.The first couple miles are very steep not as bad but still very hard above treeline then the last 1/4 mile is the steepest for good measure at 22%grade.Whenever someone says something is hard i think back and say, No Mt Washington is hard.

1. Col d'Iseran (2770 m) 2. Passo delle Stelvio (2758 m) 3. Gavia pass (2650 m) 3. Gletscherstrasse (2829 m) 4. Col de Moutiere (2454 m) 5. Colle Lombarda (2350 m) 6. Passo di Sella (2240 m) 7. Col du Granon (2413m)
Iseran: fantastic view + snowy mountains, calm road
Stelvio: fantastic neture: trees, flowers, view, fresh air, not too much traffic, and the lot of hairpins... :-)
Gavia: the same natural park as Stelvio, similar nature !
Gletscherstrasse: minimum traffic, hard climb, but enjoy cycling: fresh air, flowers, cows, snow, and glacier at the top.

1.Brasstown Bald mtn (USA,Georgia) 2.Mt.Ventoux (france ) 3.Col de Madeleine (france) 4.Mountagne De lure (france) 5.Cormet de Roslend (france)
All the climbs in France are awsome, but I have not climbed anything more brutal than Brasstown Bald Mtn...only 3 miles long, but a continous pitch of 20-25%...just ask Lance and Tom Daneilson, better yet ask Floyd who squilled like a pig all the way up up up.

1.Babbacombe beach hill near Torquay
I have run up this several times over the years but I have never cycled it having assumed it was not possible. Anybody done it? Is it possible?

I've yet to cycle the passes in the lakes but will do this September -training for the pyrenees. The hardest single climb i've done was the Bealach Na Ba..2 motnths ago - I had a chest infection at the time and I swear I near died on the crazy steep section just before the switchbacks..I've never felt like that before on a bike and hope I never feel like that again...I'd done it before around 2 years ago but my memory had vanquished the trauma..I've been up Alpe De Huez,Galibier-the real north ascent,Croix de Fer/Glandon etc and never felt like this....I'll se how the infamous Hardknott/Wrynose/Honister/Newlands passes compare.

1. Certovica (Slovakia)1238 m 2. Strebsko Pleso (Slovakia)1355 m
These are not very steep and difficult but very attractive and spectacular climbs. That's why it's really perfect passes for long distance tourists with heavy weight baggage. Strebsko Pleso worths to be reached because of its beautiful mountain lake on the top with no rivers of sweat with permanent views on the highest peaks of High Tatra: Krivan, Lomnicki Stit etc. Going via Certovice allows you to cross the Low Tatra chain by picturesque serpentine road among fir forests on the slopes. Small restaurant with national Slovak cuisine await you on the top -it's hard to miss it after this ascent!

Name of your favourite climbs

1. Tourmalet 2. Col del Agnello 3. Soulour & Aubisque 4. Passo Rolle 5. Monte Grappa
The Tourmalet (Pyrennes) and Agnello (Italian Alps) were the hardest climbs I've ever done, though for sheer brutality I've never seen a stretch of road as steep as Brasstown Bald in Georgia (I walked up it to see this year's Tour de Georgia) -- only 3 miles but absolutely brutal.
The adjoining cols Soulour and Aubisque in the Pyrennes are breathtakingly beautiful climbs, and cat 1 in grade (tho collectively I believe they are rated hors category). In the Dolomites, Passo Rolle is a lovely, gradual climb to above treeline, and Monte Grappa requires a commitment.

1.Mt Baldy, so cal. 2.Tom's place to mosquito flat, Eastern sierras 3.168 westguard pass road up to schulman grove,Inyo county, ca 4.Pine creek road to tungsten mine out of Rovana, ca near bishop 5.Big tujunga canyon to mt wilson. Los angeles, ca
Mt Baldy is my local ride and is a real brute if you climb it from Euclid ave off the 10 to the top of the ski lifts. The 168 to schulman grove is very hard but very senic with some very nice rollers. This is the most crazy descent I have ever done. Pine creek road is fun and not well known. Very safe road.The eastern climbs are all excellent.

1. Spring Creek Pass(10,901 ft)/Slumgullion Pass(11,361 ft) - Colorado 2. Independence Pass (12,093 ft) - Colorado 3. Monarch Pass - Colorado 4. Coal Bank Pass - Colorado
Haven't been able to ride much since graduation and a real job but before that bicycle touring sure was fun. I would recommend the "Silver Thread" Scenic Highway and the "Million Dollar" Highway 550 in Colorado for those interested in great scenery and tough climbs. I did those in early June and the snow melt made for lots of waterfalls to view.
