Rocacorba is a beautiful mountain 20 km north of Girona.  It’s a brutal climb that snakes its way through 745m over 9.9km. The ever changing gradient makes it hard to find your chi, and is a lot harder than its average gradient suggests.  

This is the first climb of the world Everest project.  Dave Edwards will be taking on 5 climbs in 5 countries over 2 weeks.  This ascent is 11 km long, with an average gradient of 10%. If you’re wondering how hard this is, the climb from the Gantry up Mount Baw Baw is considered one of Australia’s toughest climbs.  Mount Fuji is almost twice as long……….
