Climb to the Clouds Returns with Heart | Concord News

The Climb to the Clouds returned to Mount Washington this past Sunday, reigniting America’s oldest hill climb race after a five-year break. Eighty drivers from across the country battled foggy conditions and steep terrain on historic Auto Road, chasing speed and legacy. From Colorado’s Earl OMaley to Montreal’s Joel Cardoso in a rare right-hand drive Mitsubishi, racers brought passion and grit.

With roots dating back to 1904—before even Indy—the event remains a magnet for motorsport fans, blending danger, history, and heart.
