This one sneaks up on you. Majority of the climb is under 10％ and then. The corner and almost feel like hitting a wall. Good climb and previously used in Tour of Britain.

Get up the steepest section of this and you’ll be doing very well. The giveaway is when you look at the footpath and realise that even pedestrians need handrails to haul them selves up. Try contouring if needed but if you stop you’re done for!
