Also, my friend Kevin Lutz went up in a 42/21 too. So we both used a relatively high gear for that hill. He was riding a Masi, and I had a Colnago Super. I saw all manner of weird attempt bikes. One had a small front wheel, others had chainrings welded onto clusters so it had a huge rear cog. Crazy stuff. And most never were able to do it, even with the specialty stuff. I wanted to take my track bike the next year, but I never did go back to it. I guess it wasn't a challenge anymore.

@Thanks, wildbell. I rode out there from Pasadena with some friends. We got there early, and we'd never been there before, and nobody was there yet. I went part-way up to check it out, and my shifters started to slip the chain down the cluster, so I turned around an went to the bottom. We weren't sure if we even had the right place. Then, some folks showed up to set up for the event. I tightened the shifter screw as tight as I could, and up I went. straight up, no switching.

We used to sit on the hill at night in the middle of the street & drink Mickeys with the Abads, watching the world go by, and wondering who lived in the big house on the hill across the way.

I did this in 1976 with A ROAD BIKE AND A 42X21 GEAR. I think that is one of the hardest gears ever to the top.

Thanks CV. Even worse I tried again in 2007, was doing better only to have the dude in front of me stall out and then not have sense enough to clear out of way. Gah! I passed on attempting this year and last. Maybe next year.
