Public artist, Jim Collins, designed 'Hill Climb' to reflect the theme of "city in motion", specifically, Roanoke's growing bike culture. This piece is included in the Elmwood Park Art Walk.
'Hill Climb' stands 14 feet high and is made entirely of aluminum. The piece features silhouette cyclists riding up a steep incline. This sculpture depicts a bike race as a geometric abstraction.
