Did it last week. 1:08 with a compact crankset. Got my bike stolen 2 days later. Whatever. Little extra tip for one-ride-a-week cyclists: Dutch Corner does not look very Dutch if you don't make that climb on a rest day, but it's a church, cemetary and rest area called Saint Ferreol, and the last place before l'Alpe where you can refill your water bottles. Also: highly recommended: after l'Alpe, go to Col de Sarenne (1999m, just shy of 2k!), and then down the Vallée de Ferrand. The descent will be slow because the road is very narrow with a zillion turns, but the scenery is breathtaking.

GCN should try or check out the Taiwan KOM Challenge. It starts at sea level (0m) to an elevation of 3275m in 100km of constant climbing. It starts out at 3-4% then mid goes up to 12% but some parts are over 20%. The last 8km average at over 16%. I live in Taiwan and this climb is in my bucket list.

Well, Dan had a standard 39-53 chainset on, so it's not impossible, but he did say that he struggled and would have preferred to be using a compact. The pro's will race up on standard gearing, so it really just depends on your fitness and weight.
