The climb could be between a bike-based solution and a car-based one, or some sort of quad-thing or even four-wheel drive vs. sand rail.

(It would be a little dangerous, but with the proper safety gear it should be all right. I mean, hey, I spent my teen years doing exactly this sort of thing and I survived. So far.)

Usually only one person makes it up and thats the winner. In the case that thye both make it up a race up the hill happens to justify who wil
