Haleakala Crater sits on the island of Maui in Hawaii. The route to the top for the record books is 60 km (36 miles) long and climbs 3048 meters (10,000 feet). One section of road that comprises the route is infamous as the steepest paved road on earth.

The record time to the top was first set in 1993 by Jonathan Vaughters at around 2 hours 38 minutes. This January, Garmin/Chipotle rider Ryder Hesjedal set his sights on breaking the record. Watch the footage, created by Media One Multimedia, of his first attempt up the climb:
