For a little clarity- I rode up 2 of the 3, I’m not saying it’s impossible but that it’s tricky.
It’s the exact same problem I had when I rode up Zoncolan- where, it being 8km, I did end up lying over the handlebars. But that was so steep I’d never make changes to the bike or my position to deal with it, whereas I had the same thing three times in one section of SDW.

I call bullshit. The design may not be the optimal setup for getting up steep hills, but give your bike to any half decent xc racer and i'd wager they'd be up those hills no worry.
