A name that strikes 'fear' into the pro peloton, and is whispered in awe in the back of the team bus. Lance Armstrong in 2004 Said to the Gazetta dello sport
It's featured in multiple editions of the Giro, Firstly in 1990 when it was stage 15, and the riders ascended the south side and descended down the west. Due to the steepness of the descent, and the CRASHES
the organisers decided to climb it from Mazzo in subsequent years! Although in 2017 stage 16 did the original ascent from Edolo, and was won by Luis Leon Sanchez The first rider passing the summit in the Giro wins the Cima Pantani, following the death of Pantani in 2004.
Look out for the monument to Pantani erected by the Italian Professional Road Cycling Association in 2006, it's at Km 8 on the climb
Relentless and unforgiving are probably the best words to describe the 13.07Km, 1314m ascent, at an average gradient of 10.6%, it sounds like it's much easier than it is, at times there are sections that ramp up to 21+%
2010 Edition Stage 19 of the Giro, Basso, Nibali, Evans and Scarponi (Among Others)

It's a terrible climb...it's perfect for a mountain bike. On the hardest parts, I was riding a 39x27 and I was hurting, really hurting. (Mortirolo) is the hardest climb I've ever ridden. My time up the climb? It's not important; I rode the Mortirolo to have some fun and ride with the 'cicloamatori'...there were a few raindrops, but it was a great day.
