CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Beth-rah Pass, Asir Mountains, Saudi Arabia

Ride eight miles gaining 4,479’ at 10.4% average grade.

Another epic and World Top 100 Bike Climb that was undiscovered by the cycling world and had no Strava segment . . . until now!!  Check out my ride on Strava.

Climb is through the canyon left center and ends top right center.

Cycling Beth-rah Pass, Asir Mountains, Saudi Arabia - road forks, to the right is steep roadway leading up Asir mountains

This climb is all about STEEP!!  As is seen from the gradient profile below, a full mile of the climb is above 14%, and the average for the climb is above 10%.  I can say from personal experience that this is one of the toughest bike climbs you will ever find due to its extended extremely steep gradients.

After STEEP comes BENDS on Beth-rah Pass.
