Why not do the Waterfall hill climb 5 times? There's less traffic than the main loop and I've had some close passes on that Artillery Hill climb.

'coz waterfall climb isnt artillery hill. Maybe you are too strong of a cyclist to notice the difference

Tried to call you but your phone must be switched off and as I knew you needed it, I came over and you weren't there so I've left it draped over a chair in your Kitchen.

Waterfall climb is no less painful than Artillery Hill. As a matter of fact, some say it's tougher due to its sustained length with later section hitting above 10%.

G came down to the coffee shop this morning, then headed off to RNP. He should be on his first climb about now

The KoM jersey really feels good. It's an awesome challenge and I think more people should give it a go.
When I first climbed that hill a few months ago, I found it "fear inducing." Perhaps that's the reason I wanted to go back and climb it five times without a break. No fear no more.
If anyone else would like to do it, we can attempt it again next Sunday?
