Conquering the Steepest Road in the World

#getgoing2025 #baldwinstreet #newzealand Climbing Baldwin Street in Dunedin, New Zealand - the steepest road in the world —was a challenge I didn't know I needed. At first glance, it looks innocent enough. "How bad could it be?" | thought. Ten steps in, I realized this wasn't just a street-it was a vertical workout disguised as a tourist attraction. The gradient hits 35%, and suddenly, every step feels like scaling a mountain. My legs burned, my breath quickened, and I was pretty sure gravity was laughing at me. Halfway up, I considered rolling back down for fun, but pride kept me going. Reaching the top felt like winning an Olympic gold medal. The panoramic view of Dunedin was worth every gasping breath. The way down? A breeze— literally! Baldwin Street isn't just a road; it's a rite of passage for anyone who loves quirky, offbeat adventures. Just don't forget your water bottle!
