Why do you equate Kalahatti with nightmares?

Chiddu, you are the only person I know who says, a non-functioning rear shifter is okay for Kalhatty :-) I believe, you climbed it in 1x3 combination this year in May on a hot day.
For the rest of the folks, it is all about choosing the right gear ratio. But I have to admit, Kalhatty has the dual distinction of incessant climb with no respite in between (not until the temple) as well as mystic and charming climb with beautiful views.

There actually is a small respite somewhere around the middle. Very small.

The section around the waterfall is flat. And there is another small ease-out (may be still upward but small) on the way to that as well.
Lets plan on a revisit!

And thanks for reminding me that I did Kalhatti on 1-3. However I didn't do it entirely on the cycle. Initially I took breaks, and then at times I walked for short distances and then got back. No section is so steep that it could not be done on 1-3 , but impossible to sustain the entire stretch with my fitness levels then. I have lost some weight now and should try it again.
And yeah I should blog more frequently. I had forgotten the 1-3 aspect. Thanks for remembering that ;)
