An untested climb - PJAMM will chart in summer 2018

Climb Summary

Contributed to by Ties Arts

We hesitated to add this climb because of varying (mostly negative) input on our ability to achieve the segment on a road bike, but at our World Climb List collaborator’s strong preference we have included it and will give the climb a go in July, 2018.  Here’s our dialog on the climb:

John: “Siat is not achieved via road bike I do not think – too much gravel for Top 100 – I got input from Michaiel Van Lonkhuyzen on that.”

Ties:  “ Alpe de Siat: what was Michiel van Lonkhuyzen his response, the climb is on his site and only the last 2km are unpaved (though  steep)? http://cyclingcols.com/col/Siat.”  

Strava input:

“Michiel Van Lonkhuyzen:  Hello, Alp da Riein is fully paved except for the last 200m. The pavement above Siat ends at about 1550 m altitude. Above there is not really suited for a road bike. See also, http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Siat  and http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Riein “

We shall see!
