Cyclist - Climb: The most epic cycling ascents in the world (Hardback)

This is a book for anyone who loves big climbs, big views and big days in the saddle. Beautifully put together and packed with jaw‑dropping photography, Cyclist magazine’s experts take you up 35 of the most iconic, notorious and downright brutal cycling climbs on the planet.

Each ascent comes with everything you need to feel the gradient in your legs before you even clip in: detailed route maps, altitude charts, stats and first‑hand ride reports from writers who’ve actually sweated their way to the top. The result is part inspiration, part bucket‑list builder, and part tribute to the roads that define the sport.

You’ll find the legendary giants of France, Italy, Spain and Belgium — Alpe d’Huez, Stelvio, Zoncolan, Angliru, Koppenberg and more — alongside lesser‑known gems from northern and eastern Europe and the USA. Every climb has been ridden, tested and conquered by the Cyclist team, and the photography alone is enough to make you want to book a flight and pack your bike.

Featured climbs include Monte Grappa, Passo dello Stelvio, Sa Calobra, Col Agnel, Croix de Fer, the Trollstigen in Norway and the mighty Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

For riders who dream of epic ascents, this is the ultimate guide to the world’s greatest climbs.
