American former pro cyclist Phil Gaimon has taken back the Strava KOM on Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, an almost 90km climb considered to be the hardest in the world.
Gaimon uploaded his file to Strava on Wednesday, showing he completed the 4,195m of elevation in four hours, 34 minutes and 10 seconds. The official ‘Waikoloa beach to Mauna Kea’ segment is 89.46km long, and climbs to the dormant volcano’s summit at 4,214m, starting on the island’s western coast.
