Somebody know if they install special gearing for this incredibly steep climb?

@BobbyBlastofff Wow thanks! 34x32 is mountain bike gearing o.0 I guess it would be impossible to do it on 37x25 (the classic setting) The Alpe d'Huez is a cakewalk compared to this! Do you happen to know what gearing Contador used when he won in (I think) 2008? And is the Angliru the "worse" climb? I heard there is one in Austria that is as bad as this.

34 dientes de plato 32 de piñon. El desarrollo le ha dado media etapa, la otra media, con 2 cojones que le ha metido. Grande Cobo.
