Vert m/hr challenge

[Plummet]

OK mofo's i've got a pointless challenge for shjts and giggles.

How much vert/hr can you do?

Here's a ride i did on sunday. Average is 655mtr vert/hour
I wasn't aiming for vert meterage when riding. I was a short hammer fest. So I guess more vM/hr could be achieved with a concerted effort to do so. Is 1000mtr in one hour achievable?

PS Thats climb and descend. Not just climb......

This was a few years ago now, I think I've probably done more in less time more recently.
5:30am without any breaki, including 3 miles on flat roads to get to/from the trails
625Wh battery in EMTB mode (950m/hr)

Then back out on my lunch break

Best effort on the 1000m/hr challenge, was 1112m

The rule was you cannot drop the same trail down more than once but can do laps of the up.

It was surprisingly tough. Thresholds efforts up the hill & dropping into trails at race pace makes for a spicy combo for an hour non stop.
