Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to ride Angliru?+
At an average cycling pace, Angliru takes between 54 and 75 minutes to complete. The 12.5km climb with its 10.1% average gradient means riders with a higher FTP can push the pace significantly. In Climb Quest, your actual time depends on your real power output.
What FTP do I need to climb Angliru?+
A moderate FTP of around 195W (watts) is a reasonable starting point for Angliru. However, the climb has sections reaching 24% gradient, so a higher FTP will make those sections much more manageable. Beginners can still attempt it — just at a slower pace.
