No organiser would do that, right?
You've not met @skinny then?
Fair enough. I live in London and grew up in a flat desert (some might say dessert #hippyisfat) so I'm quite familiar with the challenge of climbing anything, really.
We did MdS last year which was 1000k and a bit more climbing but I think maybe had longer climbs rather than more shorter steeper ones. I run MTB gearing these days for this reason.

No, not that extreme. It just felt neverending with +5000vm per day and sections of +15%. I live in Ghent, the only climbing close to home are the max 1km long bergs in the flemish ardennes. So I'm not used to/trained for longer climbs.
