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 hai... read more

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.
