Greetings from a fellow
Single Digit Climbing Club member (extends secret handshake).
10+ mph on a climb is hard!
Even when I was a much stronger climber, I rarely maintained 10 mph on a climb of any substantial grade & length.
Tossing some numbers around, 10 mph on a 7% grade requires about 4.25 Watts/kg. Hard effort for me back in the day, unthinkable now.
