Interesting... How long is Patricks Hill in Cork? The 170m track in Edinburgh seems a little short for my liking. I'd like to see racers suffer (even more!). I suppose you would have to go a few times though.

What are thoughts on the best equipment to have in a sprint hillclimb? The article mentions fixies as the way to go. Surely a well tuned geared solution would be preferable?
