EASY: 45 km ↑ 930 m
EPIC: 83 km ↑ 2910 m
The infamous Babadağ mountain is the hardest climb ever in history of official UCI races. The full climb from the beach, which is part of the EPIC route, gains 1950 m of elevation over just 19 km. It’s possible to try to get to the top from the EASY route, without going down to the beach first, adding 31 km and 1650 m of gain where it’s possible to abort at any moment and get back down.
