    It's not much of a climb really but not using "Spout, Handle, Lid of Metal, What's inside the Singing..." to keep my feet moving would be an improvement.

    ...you stop at the top to eat an ice cream and wait for your mates/competitors to catch up.
    Quite apart from his nickname, Bahamontes' racing style came straight out of the Boy's Own Paper and legends of his climbing prowess grew fast. The most famous myth was that Bahamontes had once attacked on an Alpine mountain pass so that he could have time to eat an ice cream at the top, and the reality is only slightly more mundane. "One of my wheel spokes broke halfway up, so I attacked so the repairs could be carried out at the top without me losing time," he explains. "But the team car carrying the spares got stuck behind the main bunch, so I bought an ice cream to pass the time. After that I was known as the 'ice-cream rider' – I wish I'd never stopped!"
