18,000m, 455km, 10 Different Climbs, 1 Epic Ride
Monte Grappa is an incredible climb located north of Venice, Italy, steeped in history. It marks the start of the Alps to the north, it’s 1775m high, and there are 10 different roadways to the top. Ollie is about to take on the challenge of climbing every single one of them—totalling an elevation gain of twice the height of Everest. These might just be the hardest hours of Ollie’s entire life... Will they break him?
