Back in July on my hired bike I didn't have a gps or hrm so used the stopwatch on my iPhone.

I started recording from the coach park outside Bedoin & hit stop after I dismounted at the summit.

I'd heard so many different stories & tactics about how to do the climb I decided my plan was to have no plan, other than get my eating & drinking right & keep pushing until the top. I think it worked pretty well.

FWIW I dropped about 2 mins off my Cootha p.b. about a week later, purely from knowing it's an easy climb in comparisson.
