Planning on doing both this year, so I'll let you know after Thanksgiving

My guess is Canton Ave., since it's towards the end of the Dirty Dozen whereas Westernport Wall is at the beginning of the Savageman climbs. Plus it's more likely to be snowing for the DD

Thanks.  I've only done the wall.

I haven't done them, but I live in the area and know quite a few people who have done both. They all say Canton St. is harder.

Here's a video of Canton Rd. I'd want at least a 28 on the back for this one.

The Diabolical Double has the Wall at ~84 miles in if you're going to play it like that.

I have no knowledge of either, but my guess is that Canton is much easier since you can just dismount and run up the stairs.  Probably a lot easier than trying to pedal up the wall.

Here is a video of falls from 2012.  At :30  see a guy start rolling backward

And then I saw it. I got to "The Hill." It looked a bit innocent really, in reflection - just a little hill, with the road bending around to the left...

I went into the pool area (as this was a pool swim) and got body marked. That's when it hit me that I was there to race - this was not a clinic.
