Le Tour De France just finished the Alp mountain stages with a climb of Col Du Galibier, which is one of the toughest this year.
Taken from wikipedia:
The Col du Galibier (el. 2645m, over 9000 ft) is a high mountain pass in the southern region of the French Dauphine Alps near Grenoble. It is often the highest point in the Tour De France. It was first used in 1911.
The climb to the summit in today’s stage is 18.1 km (about 10 miles) long at an average of 6.9% (height gain: 1245m). The maximum is 10.1% at the summit.
To watch these riders climb these is absolutely amazing. And to think they have the Pyrennes on the horizon.

Tickled pink that you wanted to copy the code!
You removed the "-h" bit after 's1600', but I think you inadvertently added a space. See if deleteing that space will resolve the problem.
If not, we will have to work on it, 'one-on-one'. Quite prepared to do that - just ask!
