Egan 2025.10 - The Egan Hangover
Definition of an Egan Hangover - severe sleepless night or other after effects caused by excessive power output on nonsensical climbing segments without any logical purpose. With the Egan madness in full swing and the days getting longer, it’s that time again to test your fragile mind and weakened legs on the infamous staircase of hell up to Vista Verde! Do you really want to join?
