Hardest Climb I've done and Ive done MT Evans, Brasstown, mitchell, roan. I have a 1:1 gear and I'm 6'2 190lbs on a 17lb TCR. Had to stop a couple of times. Road surface is asphalt but when wet does not have the most traction. VIEWS ARE INCREDIBLE at the top and you will have some bragging rights. On the way down I would reccomend stopping for a couple of times to let your brakes cool down.

Parked at the bottom of the climb at the public boat ramp.
You're a beast if you can climb from the bottom to the very top parking area without stopping. You'll need compact or sub-compact gearing to tame this monster climb. After a mild start, the climb hits you hard with steep steep steep climbing up to a lower parking area - only chance to catch your breath before the last steep climb to the summit parking lot. A very enjoyable sufferfest for sure ! Highly recommended. I did this climb the same day after doing the Brasstown Bald climb. Both are nearby with an easy drive. Bell Mountain is definitely harder.
