luvs2Climb:
that is very impressive.
I too, like climbing. I am short (5'2") and moderately stocky...138 to 142lbs fluctuating.
I've been riding for just under 2 years. My first (and only so far) bike is a Trek 1600, 44cm..yes, 44cm, with 650 tires...I'm looking to upgrade to a specialized in the near future.
Anyway, I had the opportunity last year during our family vacation in Maui to climb Haleakala. It is touted as the "longest, steepest road on the earth".
It was quite the adventure, to say the least.
I'd love any suggestions you may have wrt selecting a new bike.
I'm leaning towards Specialized Ruby. Either S-works or pro version.
