No music or narration, only the pure sounds of the Giants Despair Hillclimb!

The Giants Despair Hillclimb was established in 1906 in Laurel Run, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, just southeast of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

Its a 1 mile long section of road rising 650 feet (200 m), the course reaches grades up to 20% and has six turns, including the 110 degree “Devil’s Elbow”, which is the top section that I filmed.

The contest was first run in conjunction with Wilkes-Barre’s centennial celebration. It is the oldest continuing motorsport event in Pennsylvania and has had the likes of Carol Shelby, Roger Penske run on it to name a few.
