Pym Chair is a must if your a climber. It’s steep. It’s tough. This route from Hooleyhay Lane to Jenkins is a good alternative to the bank lane start. The descent down Hooleyhay is fast and the stretch up to Jenkins isn’t too long or steep. Avg 10％ or so. Turning right From Jenkins Chapel it quickly reaches 15％ avg, offering you a quick breather about half way up, then it quickly puts you back in the thick of it with 15-20％ avg gradients until your reach the summit. Feels like 25％!... read more
