Cycling up the NEW Worlds Steepest Road?!

[@kitkat5153]

Is anyone else wondering how on earth they actually managed to pave it in the first place?! 😱 Well done getting up there! 👏🏻

[@lukestorey2728]

Way better than GCN's vid anyway. Props for making it up! 🚀

[@FSR2007]

amazing that harlech is in south wales now 🤣

[@TBATTIECYCLING]

Some power Cam , you the main man. Congratulations on all your success ☎️🎉

[@funnykreeft]

Crazy ride in those conditions 🙏 wish to attempt this climb one day...

[@petervonl]

More interesting and fun than the GCN. Good job, cam & co. ;-)

[@justordinarymen]

I thought that it can’t be that hard and surely Cameron is fitter than that! So I had a go hmmmmm , perfect weather for January and the leaves where cleared to the side. I did manage to summit but at a whopping 2.9mph and had to sit down at the top as I could hardly stand up. Well done Cameron and thanks for the video, really helped with my prep.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

It's bloody savage!! Glad you had a crack

[@leedorney]

I went to Harlech once, it's got an impressive castle which looks nice in the dark as it's lit up, that road isn't that steep imo plenty up this way, Long Heys Ln by Upholland is a grind..

[@JK-wl5bx]

Harlech is north wales

[@db613]

Need a 34 x 34🤙🤤😆

The dream

[@roryfollinpiano2161]

this is just off one of my usual cycle routes. might attempt it once it’s not locked off anymore

[@johnasbravosas7191]

Thats just like me @18% on 70x25 gearing. Just my rpm is below 30

[@drakes3082]

Solid effort! I

[@lorddilego6805]

What a brute of a climb! I couldn't even say that you didn't try with a straight face if I wanted to, cause there was no anyone would get up that without going pretty much full gas. :S Well done, Cam! You aren't exactly featherlight and that's a pretty respectable time tbh. Even Andy deserves some props there, he got pretty far. :D Ps. Andy Nichols, the HC specialist. Yeah... that KOM wasn't going to be taken so easily. :P

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

Ahhaha I didn’t even realise it was Andys until after I’d ridden up. Then it all made sense

[@andrewgrant2765]

I’ll be back 🤜🏼

NIce one on getting up that! What was your average BPM for it?? Better footage of the climb than GCN's video.

I did, just VERY slow ahahhaa

[@tomrachellesfirstdance7843]

I cannot belive you kept a 39 on your bike no wonder you had to grind you nutter! Fair play for getting up it though looks real nasty. Odd the stipulations for the book of records though in that regard I don't think it will ever be "officially" the steepest road.

[@ianhutchinson970]

Nevermind the 39. The lunatic had a 28 on the back!!!

Not my brightest moment Tom. I’ll be back 🤣

[@mateagoston8145]

It's probably still not the steepest road on the Earth. If once we are talking about unofficial paved roads then according to one or perhaps two videos of The Vegan Cyclist then there are 40-43% slopes on Hawaii's main island.

[@cornishalps9870]

This one is classed as a street as there are houses at the bottom so I can take the Guinness world record

[@cornishalps9870]

Also are those 40% slopes in the middle of corners? Because that doesn't count. Bamford Clough is super straight and you can't escape by going around the bend. The gradient is also pretty constant so there is no let off

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

Get me to Hawaii!

[@framedman]

They never even went to the top. No KOM or QOM attempt. Pretty useless. And all the hill climbers were there round the corner at Winnats the other week. They all could have done it.

[@dh7314]

Loads of GCN bashing in the comments. No need.

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

I agree. Would love to collab with GCN one day. Sadly I cannot see that ever happening :(

South Wales??? You’re having a laugh mate? Harlech is in North Wales only about an hour from Snowdon.

[@markdowns4854]

That's exactly what I thought! Joys of being sponsored hey.

[@andrewgrant2765]

Thanks Dan! Go give it a go but make sure to do a warm up before hand 😂 jumping straight on the bike didn’t help at all!

[@occyman]

Cleats are cheap….

[@framedman]

This was way better than the GCN video, anyway. Shows why it doesn't matter if you're copying them tbf. Also said this the last time you did Harlech, change your fucking gearing, man. You'd have nailed the KOM if you'd ridden a 30 or 32 tooth cassette. The new Dura Ace has at least a 30 tooth cassette, doesn't it? Do yourself a favour.

[@cyclenutter2715]

My head is spinning, lungs gassed, and thighs burning just from watching this. I’d totally snap a chain if I started this.

[@stewarthinsley6995]

When an animal like yourself Cam, is struggling and nearly weave off your bike, it goes to show how steep that hill really is. Cameras never do gradients any justice. Top effort lad 👍👌

[@Cameron_Jeffers]

Thanks Stewart, it was honestly mad

[@jamesmann3556]

Always enjoy watching your vids. Thank you for the context about the record eligibility as well, actually useful information. Oh and you guys took a broom with you to do a hill climb in the countryside in autumn, I commend your sensibility! 👏🏼
