This is not a very long climb, but how steep it is! The percentages on very short sections go up to 30％, almost unbearable. Anyway, the hills in the Lake District are tough, the roads often choose the shortest way up... Road surface fine, very narrow though so if you meet a car in one of those hairpins with 30％ it does become difficult to navigate. Beautiful scenery with a view of England's highest mountain at the top, weather permitting... The other side is more familiar and heavier/longer, but this short side is also worthwhile in combination with Wrynose. Have climbed this col in a round trip through the Lake District with several such gut-busters.
Dit is niet een hele lange klim, maar wat is deze ook weer steil! De percentages op hele korte stukjes gaan omhoog naar 30％, vrijwel niet te doen. Sowieso zijn de heuvels in het Lake District zwaar, de wegen kiezen vaak de kortste weg omhoog... Wegdek prima, wel heel smal dus als je een auto tegenkomt in zo'n haarspeld met 30％ wordt het wel lastig laveren. Prachtige omgeving met boven zicht op de hoogste berg van Engeland, als het weer het toelaat... De andere kant is bekender en zwaarder/langer, maar deze korte kant mag er ook zijn in combinatie met Wrynose. Heb deze col beklommen in een rondje door het Lake District met diverse van dit soort kuitenbijters.
