The numbers don't do this justice. Absolute wall of a climb, I've come across a few cars coming down and frustratingly had to put a foot down to let it pass on the narrow stretch. If you can get a good run its a lung buster!

An absolute wall. The gradients are insane. Low traffic, but there is the occasional car, so get ready to “enjoy” some suffering.

Short but stupidly steep. Quite famous in the local area and was featured a number of times in GCN and road.cc videos. Don't recommend doing it in autumn/winter as it can get quite slippery.
