One of THE must-do climbs of the lakes.
A key climb on the Fred Whitton route, it’s just wonderful; dramatic, really hard in places and just wild enough to keep you on your toes, you can never tell what kind of climb you’re getting into from day to day.
Road surface is so-so but it’s not horrendous. The final steep pitch to the top is excruciating if you’ve dug too deep, it’s very steep.
The descent over the back is incredible and definitely worth the pain
