The Koppenberg i reckon. One of the famous climbs in Belgium that are used in the classics. Falling over/getting off was common before the gearing got alot lower. Nowadays; even when it is wet there will only be dismounts if a chain ships, or they have bunched up some. Tyres might grip better now, too, with some more science in the compounds.

Here is some info on the various climbs
