Seems to have gone round in a loop rather than out and back. Which strictly speaking might disqualify his effort if he’s trying to get it recognised by the Everesting lot.

You can tell him. I haven't got the heart

Doesn‘t bother me. I’ve done hill repeats and over 1,000 would do my head in. So well done him for achieving what he set out to do. I much prefer going places on my bike, and the climbing is incidental . 😄

Indeed. I have a local hill that sometimes I while away a winter evening going up and down. I don't think I've ever done more than about an hours worth before the pointlessness overwhelms me.

I think an hour of hill reps is about right if building them up in the legs to get better at them. I have managed 3 hours recently but that was simulate a hillier place I’m going riding to soon.

For more than an hour I go and ride somewhere hilly so I get a bit of variety rather than reps.

Yup, definitely no loops allowed; shame, as it makes the ride even more tedious.
(I suppose you save a bit of time by keeping your speed up with a loop i.e. no dead turn at the bottom.
You might be allowed to ride a half-pipe! )
