Parameters
Our comprehensive scoring system, calculated exclusively through Strava segments, rewards speed, effort, and achievement.
Distance
Longer climbs with sustained efforts earn additional distance bonuses based on total segment length.
Points scale with distance: 5km+ climbs earn base points, with significant bonuses for 10km, 15km, and 20km+ segments.
Vertical Gain
Total elevation gained rewards the sheer physical effort required to reach the summit.
Climbs with higher vertical gain receive base point increases. Alpine giants over 1,000m gain receive maximum weighting.
Field Bonus
Bonus points based on how close your effort is to the best time on that climb.
Compared to the best segment time: within 15% = 30 pts, between 16% and 50% = 15 pts, and 51%+ slower = 5 pts.
Category Multiplier
Official climb difficulty classifications act as a direct multiplier on your base points, up to x1.5.
HC (Hors Categorie) climbs provide a x1.5 multiplier, Cat 1 offers x1.25, and Classics/Cat 2/Cat 3/Cat 4 keep the base x1.0 level.
Fastest Time
Exclusive massive rewards of 100 points for the absolute fastest time recorded on a segment.
Holding a Fastest Time is the ultimate achievement. This fixed bonus is applied on top of all other multipliers and points.
PR
Personal Records are celebrated. Earn a fixed 50-point bonus the first time you beat your previous best on a segment each year.
Continuous improvement is rewarded. Once per calendar year, your first Personal Record on any tracked segment earns a significant 50-point boost.
