A long 9.7km climb that will see you gain 422m, with an average and fairly consistent gradient of 4.4% - so this is a nice one to set your gear and go for a smooth cadence while you take in the wonderful scenery.

Probably one of the most underrated climbs in the whole area, right here. If you look directly north you'll see where you are heading next. The descent from here is EPIC, watch the cattle grid, and there's Coaltown Coffee Roasters at the bottom.
