The World's Steepest Climb? | Extreme E-Bike Climbing Challenge: The Slab
Steep. Long. Slippery and unforgiving. A slab of limestone cut by glaciers thousands of years ago. It’s something we're no stranger to, having seen the likes of Martyn Ashton and Chris Smith descend it's face before, but nobody has ever attempted to ride up…
It’s (potentially) the world’s steepest climb. Chris and Steve wanted to know how far they could ride up on an Electric Mountain Bike… if it was even possible at all.

The world’s steepest residential road is Baldwin Street in New Zealand, three and a half kilometers long, averaging 35% with pitches of 38%. But we wanted to find something more extreme. Vittorio Brumotti rode the Lion’s Back in Utah, which has a peak gradient of 65%, but that isn't enough.
We wanted to push the limits of possibility. What can an E-bike do?
This is the famous slab in Bristol Gorge, a destination for mountain bikers to ride DOWN, not up.
It's 75%, thats 37 degrees. It's 10 percent steeper than the Lion's Head and almost twice as steep as Baldwin Street. Is it possible to go up, even with turbo mode?
We want to know about your steepest climbs. Know of anything steeper? Let us know and we’ll try and ride it!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Alsace (, also US: , French: [alzas] (listen); Alsatian: ’s Elsàss [ˈɛlsɑs]; German: Elsass [ˈɛlzas] (listen); Latin: Alsatia) is a cultural and historical region in eastern France, on the west bank of the upper Rhine next to Germany and Switzerland.
From 1982 to 2016, Alsace was the smallest administrative région in metropolitan France, consisting of the Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin departments. Territorial reform passed by the French legislature in 2014 resulted in the merger of the Alsace administrative region with Champagne-Ardenne and Lorraine to form Grand Est.
Due to protests it was decided in 2019 that Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin would form the future European Collectivity of Alsace in 2021.
Alsatian is an Alemannic dialect closely related to Swabian and Swiss German, although since World War II most Alsatians primarily speak French. Internal and international migration since 1945 has also changed the ethnolinguistic composition of Alsace. For more than 300 years, from the Thirty Years' War to World War II, the political status of Alsace was heavily contested between France and various German states in wars and diplomatic conferences. The economic and cultural capital of Alsace, as well as its largest city, is Strasbourg. The city is the seat of several international organizations and bodies.
