The ‘famous’ side maybe the other ascent but this side is the Fred Whitton Challenge option and is equally brutal.
The start in Seatoller is tight and steep and a real shock to the system - time to search for the granny gear! Once past the first left handed the wall is in front of you, woodland, heather and stone walls enclose the climb. But it opens up after this first really steep (25％) bit and even if it does ease off as it goes higher, it doesn’t get easier. The views further up are magnificent, and when you reach the top you can look back across the peaks and be blown away by the grandeur
It's so steep at the start that your legs start to ache, but then it flattens out and you can enjoy the beautiful landscape!
So steil am Anfang das einem die Beine aufgehen, flach dann aber ab und man kann die schöne Landschaft genießen!
Climb from another world: on the same slope, I ventured both into the rainforest and to the top of an Alpine climb. The percentages soon become insane, it is hard work to get to the top. A gurgling mountain stream in the green accompanies you on this self-flagellation. Once you think you are at the top, after a more running section in the open fields, a final steep stretch to the summit follows where you can make a stop at the Sky Hi café. On the descent, you imagine yourself in a fairytale world among the mountains
Klim uit een andere wereld: op dezelfde helling waagde ik me zowel in het regenwoud als op de top van een Alpenklim. De percentages worden al snel waanzinnig, het is hard werken om boven te geraken. Een klaterende bergriviertje in het groen begeleid je op deze zelfkastijding. Eenmaal je denkt boven te zijn volgt na een meer lopend stuk in de open velden nog een laatste steil stuk naar de top waar je een stop kan maken in het Sky Hi café. In de afdaling waan je je in een sprookjeswereld tussen de bergen
Very nice, but also steep climb with the steepest part being 25％. Especially at the bottom it is raking. Towards the top it is a bit easier. When we were there, it rained on the descent and that's a good lookout!
Hele mooie, maar ook steile beklimming met als steilste stuk 25％. Met name onderin is het harken. Richting de top is het wat makkelijker. Toen wij er waren regende het in de afdaling en dat is het goed uitkijken!
