    Has anyone done the Muro di Sormano climb?

    It’s on my bucket list, but I’m not sure if it will live up to the expectations created in this video!

    It was included in the 2012 Lombardia after being left out of the route for a long time – road.cc says it’s 50 years. But is there such a thing as an “ultimate” climb?

    Edit: the paint is a bit to prominent for me, a bit “in yer face”, as they say. I’d have preferred a less blocky, more cursive or lighter style. It reminds me of the Nike chalkbot and thoughts of the corporate takeover of the tradition of fans painting on the roads.

    It looks a beautiful ride to be honest in stuning scenery so it can’t be too bad…
