Le Salève the Steep Way (video)
By Will • Apr 20th, 2009 • Category: Climbs, Cycling
My mountain behind home.
I have now reached Col de la Croisette from all four directions in 2009. Although it always takes me the longest to get the courage to climb the super steep north-east side from Le Coin.
Below is the last of about 10 superb hairpins on this painful but fun climb. We watched the 2008 Dauphiné Libéré here.

Will is Happiest while cycling uphill. More enthusiastic than talented, his 2013 Challenge is to cycle a 150 Cols (mountain passes), slowly -- and to just enjoy.

Will, tu grimpes à la même allure toute la montée ? Tu prends quoi le matin ? Je voudrais savoir !
Chapeau Will. I hope the director didn’t make you do too many “takes” to get this perfect clip!
Bast …. Non, je t’assure que la vitesse était seulement pour quelques instants.
Martin: Two takes ….. ;(
Did you set “fast forward” or are you indeed flying up this mountain … LOL
I’m planning to try a little climb on the weekend and test how much fitness I’ve lost over the last four months …
Will, at that speed I wonder what takes you longer : going up OR coming down? I’m not so sure
This climb looks somehow familiar! And you look great on the video, although if it is truly painful we would have heard some wheezing and moaning…chapeau, indeed!
