[@dominicbritt]

Oooof that’s a tough one!

[@jonm8423]

Nicely done, extra kudos for doing some bits again for roadside shots!

[@BeardonaBike]

Glad you like them!

[@graemebailey2046]

Smashed it, great video as usual

[@BeardonaBike]

Appreciate that Graeme

[@escorthq5060]

Good of them to close the road for you..must be your celebrity status 😂👍👏

[@BeardonaBike]

I was thinking I’ve come all this way and won’t be able to get to the top. It did help have a whole road to myself.

[@escorthq5060]

Crikey mate. Subscribed.

Cheers Angus 👍

[@GaryStevenson]

Nice b roll! That relentless steep bit looks brutal

[@BeardonaBike]

Had time on my hands to experiment

[@vihuelamig]

Not that I've done it and not that I could. It is brutal. . . but aren't they all!

[@vinylandvelo]

This is insane, well done that man!

[@BeardonaBike]

It was a bit of a shock as I didn’t recon the climb before attempting it, half way up my legs were crying 🤣

[@shooey38]

Thought I'd seen you about 3 weeks ago heading past the reservoir from Glossop heading bk towards Holme moss I was heading towards Glossop on a sky blue 2020 sworks venge

[@BeardonaBike]

Sky blue S-Works was my mate Dr, I was probably a bright red SWorks and 2 others with us. I remember seeing a fair few cyclist coming in the opposite direction

[@theyorkshirewheeler]

Yes lad smashed it 🫡

[@BeardonaBike]

Haha didnt expect it to be that steep so pretty much full gas

[@theyorkshirewheeler]

@@BeardonaBike yeah not too bad at all, did it on a struggle event a few years back and have it again on Yorkshire Beast next year 😁

[@BeardonaBike]

@@theyorkshirewheelerThinking of doing that, are entries open for it?

[@theyorkshirewheeler]

@@BeardonaBike yes mate velo29 website, I booked on last week in a moment of madness 💀

[@shazadarshad8800]

Amazing effort! Chapeau 👏🏾🙌🏾

[@BeardonaBike]

One for you to tick off

[@rizjumeer]

smashed it bro

[@mAsadiq]

Amazing effort. That looks like a proper tough ol climb. Well done.👍🏼

[@BeardonaBike]

Awful climb but the sense of accomplishment was worth it if you are ever in that area it’s worth a crack

[@breathestrongcycling3672]

I don't use a bike computer....there are some things i'd rather not know...😆

[@BeardonaBike]

To be honest I didn’t look at the figures going up I was concerned with not pulling a wheelie or back wheel slipping. Onto the next one where ever it is..

[@andrew30m]

New to cycling and have decided it will be the last bit of kit to get. Currently, bike is out of control or bike has stopped due to user failure are the only two stats that seem relevant.😂

[@chivacetana]

I get it.

[@SashenGovender]

Great effort! Thanks for the videos🤙

[@BeardonaBike]

My pleasure!

[@jasonharris839]

Nice solid effort there, well done. I think if my heart rate was constantly in the 180s, my Garmin would be dialling 999.

[@BeardonaBike]

I’ve had it up to 211 but usually don’t exceed 202 on a normal day. I do wonder sometimes if I should concerned 🤣

[@stevenfreeman7798]

What a brilliant effort!!. How the hell can you stand up and pedal for that long lol!. At 64 and 16 stone I thing I will give that climb a miss ha!!.Well done mate!.

[@BeardonaBike]

You can’t quit when the camera is recording 🤣 Watch this space for HardKnott pass video coming soon. Possibly worse than Chimney Bank

[@stevenfreeman7798]

Brilliant look forward to that one lol!!!. Keep up the good work!!.

[@umairnurgat7587]

Love this mashallah 🔥💪

[@waynekerry6559]

Absolutely smashed it buddy .my legs were hurting just watching😂

[@BeardonaBike]

It’s a full body work out honestly everything was hurting 🤣

[@kevstephen9393]

Made even harder getting them shots in. I've watched it now, treat yourself to a Gel 😂

[@kmtb2011]

Bravo! Have you ever considered the steep road in Harlech wales? Apparently it's got the genesis record for being the steepest road in uk. Iv drove down it😂

[@BeardonaBike]

Right let me search that up I’ve been thinking what to do next.

[@steviewheelie2971]

Truly impressive, top dollar. Good to see you are being the face of Stolen Goat again Aky.

[@BeardonaBike]

Cheers for the kind words Stevie 🙌

[@paulwilliams4990]

Very impressive I don’t think I could do that one.

[@BeardonaBike]

When you’re filming stopping isn’t an option 😂

[@Grant-bu4nj]

Excellent work well done can I just ask what gearing on your bike well done on the content too

[@BeardonaBike]

11-30 and 52/36

[@Grant-bu4nj]

@@BeardonaBike Wow!! Super strong 💪💪💪

[@BeardonaBike]

@@Grant-bu4njI don’t know about that, just an extremely high pain threshold 😂

[@raymondelliot4605]

Brilliant, well done to you, you made it look easy. Was there someone placing the camera for you, surly you weren’t stopping positioning the camera then carrying on. If you did then big kudos to you, if I stopped I’d probably never getting going again. 😂 so well done again 👏👍🏻

[@BeardonaBike]

I did the full climb in one hit, then went back down to capture several different angles and go back to pick up the camera each time. Need an assistant it took forever 😂

[@alex_n8863]

Did it last year on my MTB, an old lady at the bottom wound down her window and said "you have got to be kidding" and laughed! 😂

[@BeardonaBike]

Well done mate 💪

[@sadiqsworldUK]

will you be uploading your pakistan ride?

[@chivacetana]

How many Kgs is this guy? That’s some impressive power. Love the video. I would bring the music down just a hair to hear the breathing and would love to grade on hub. Liking,subbing!

[@BeardonaBike]

Notes on the music and instead will talk through the climbs where possible going forward. Feedback is important to me. 73kg

[@thelanehamartteacher9518]

Myself and my husband are looking for a hill to practice up as we have the coast to coast coming up that has Hardknott pass included. You have done both? Is chimney bank a good one to practice up?

[@BeardonaBike]

I wouldn't want to climb it more than once in a day. In my opinion, Hardknott Pass is tougher than Chimney Bank. Both are challenging, but if you're looking for a steep climb, Chimney Bank is a good option. Climbing Hardknott also often includes riding up Wrynose Pass, which means you'll experience the descent through Hardknott's hairpins followed by another difficult ascent. Personally, I'd choose Hardknott for the full experience.. Good luck

[@ashleyfrancis2903]

Great effort! What’s your weight and size?

[@BeardonaBike]

73kg 5ft9 size 54 bike

[@Geoffmbr]

Awesome as you said make it part of a longer ride that's gonna make it hurt more if that's possible 😉 😂

[@BeardonaBike]

Need to have somebody plan a good loop for us

[@davidgriscom8297]

Wow that looks punishing. Would have been a nice extra to show the gradient and speed as well

[@BeardonaBike]

Noted! I left those metrics off because I thought it was cluttering the screen. Gradient is a bit hit and miss I’ve found. Speed wise it was slow 😩

[@pompeysi7219]

Incredible effort. I have full admiration. Chapeau 👏👏👏

[@BeardonaBike]

Too kind I’m nothing special but I’m glad this is another one I can see I’ve defeated.

[@oldsquashmonkey]

You should have done it starting from Lastingham on the other side, it's miles easier 🤣🤣. You can still claim to have got to the top of Chimney Bank 🤣🤣

[@BeardonaBike]

Now you tell me 😂
