Tough climb !!!
Remember this place (if i'm not wrong) :) Steep climb to Tanglang-La starts from here ( i think about 6Kms to top) and head on winds add to difficulty. Congrats you did it on bike and not on rescue vehicle like me :) ( http://vishalguleria.blogspot.com/2009/06/cycling-leh-manali.html ). Great Stemina Guys !!!
