We cover all the essential techniques that you need to know to make steep climbs as easy as possible, drawing on the experience of former pro Dan Lloyd.

We look at gear selection, making sure that you are in the right gear before you reach the climb. We analyse body position, making sure you can get all your power out but maintaining traction.

All these tips straight from the pro, and more.
