I remember Colle San Carlo. At that time Ivan Basso was in "extraterrestrial" form but Pepoli managed to hold his wheel on ascent and win on descent. It is a very hard climb (11.5 pts) but a few kms too short to be in TOP10.
As for Finestre/Zoncolan debate I'm sure many would say Zoncolan is hardest but both are in the same "monster" cathegory. And If there was a mountaintop finish on Finestre (or ITT up there) I'm almost certain that time gaps there could be highest of all Giro climbs.
