alright, alright… technically the third longest climb in the world behind an extended Mauna Kea route (#1) and Wuling Pass (#2), but those nitty gritty details failed to make it to the sign at the top of Letras proudly proclaiming it as having the coveted “est” qualifier. Letras does still get the consolation prize for being the longest mountain pass in the world, meaning it isn’t an out and back route. Regardless of the official length ranking Alto de Letras is an incredibly difficult and rewarding climb with absolutely awe-inspiring views. This legendary stretch of road into the high Andes is what inspired me to pack my bike up and book a flight to Medellin, Colombia to see if I was up for the challenge.
