Yeah, I did it again yesterday too. One of my favourite things is to overtake people pushing the expensive bikes while I ride my cheap-o one past them!
I've watched a number of videos of this climb and you seemed to sail up it! Not that I am taking anything away from your obvious fitness and strength, but can I ask what your your crankset and cassette ratios were please? Thanks.
This is going back a bit but I was on a 2009 Specialized Tricross Sport (www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/cyclocross-bikes/specialized-tricross-sport-review-2) which has a triple up front with 50/39/30 and probably still had the stock cassette on it which was 11-32. Triples are often looked down on by the bike snobs of the world but I'd rather ride a triple up a hill than push a double.
did this ride yesterday, the video is bringing back memories! some very nice bikes were being pushed up the hill hahaha
