A relatively short but technical climb which has a very steep section. The climb begins very gradually with a gentle gradient but as you enter the wooded section BANG! the gradient abruptly and harshly increases. This is sustained as you round the left hand bend and you think you have finished - but you’re wrong. There’s a slight easing in the gradient before it increases again for the short section to the summit. You’ll be out of breath at the top and will have a strong sense of achievement when you get there. Well done!
