Great climb to do if you're in the area. The start is set in the picturesque village of Inistioge which is along the banks of the River Nore. The first 1.4km are tough, averaging 8.3％ but then it settles into gentle slopes for the remaining half. Not overly difficult but a great setting for a VO2 workout. Worth a detour for sure. The only disadvantage I can think off would be that it is quite busy being the most common route for people to take when coming from the Waterford direction. ... read more

Great climb to do if you're in the area. The start is set in the picturesque village of Inistioge which is along the banks of the River Nore.

The only disadvantage I can think off would be that it is quite busy being the most common route for people to take when coming from the Waterford direction.

Other than this it is a fun climb to do, and I definitely recommend giving it a try.
