What a challenging and fun climb. The weather was sunny and extremely windy which made the exposed summit particularly difficult, and made for a exciting descent. The climb is long with extremely steep sections happening at frequent intervals. However, frequent changes in gradient gives much needed recovery time.
It's a climb you will remember the First leg is a steady climb so get in gear for the rest , as it is relentless .
You think your there at the top when you see the sharp corner but you have a little more at about 12 percent so save your legs for final push .
, watch out for the sheep on your descent
A challenging climb best done on a sunny day when you can appreciate the stunning views. The road is very quiet as it just serves the radar station at the top. There are long stretches of 15％ to 20％ gradients so bring your climbing gears with you. Take care over the cattle grid near the top as the bars are quite widely spaced! Don’t forget a wind jacket for the descent - this is the Pennines after all.
