Re: New Pikes Peak Hill Climb Thread
The first time I drove to the top of Pike Peak was in a new Fairmont 4-cyl with Automatic. At the half point while going up, I noticed they were checking the front brakes on the cars as the came back down. As I neared the peak, the higher altitude caused oil leakage at the camshaft seal and likewise from the rear trans. seal. (These leaks all quit and never reoccured as I descended). However, as I made the trip downward, I slowed only by downshifting and then as they were stopping us for the brake inspection I used the park brake. The attendent reached down behind the front wheel and then went in to get an assistant. They both were inspecting the the left front wheel, so I asked if something was wrong. They said, "your brakes are ice cold."Comment

A less strenous, but even higher climb, is Mt. Evans which is paved all the way to the top.Comment

Re: New Pikes Peak Hill Climb Thread
Charlie do not listen to Spence, you do not have to peddle up the mountain'
However dragging your heals back down the mountain is a must to help the brakes on the train. Just wear goooooood strong rubber sole spiked shoes
