The current KOM holder for the "Swiss Valley Climb" is Harry Chamberlain, who set the time of 6 minutes and 41 seconds in 2021.
Ed's primary goal for this ride, beyond achieving the KOM, was to get a feel for his new Scott Addict RC Ultimate bike when riding at full effort, as it was the first time he had fully "sent it" on this bike outdoors.
This video documents Ed Laverack's attempt to set a new King of the Mountain (KOM) record on the "Swiss Valley Climb" Strava segment using his Scott Addict RC Ultimate road bike. He aims to beat the existing record by a narrow margin, sharing his strategy, the climb's characteristics, and his experience riding the bike at full effort.
