    This ascent goes on and on... Put your rear light on, grit your teeth and go for it. Gets steeper near the top (going from Ladybower to Glossop), so keep some energy in reserve, but the scenery, and a fast descent into Glossop make it worthwhile.



    *new classification system, yet to achieve UCI approval.

      This would be an absolutely fantastic ride especially riding up from Glossop if it wasn’t for the traffic that speed way to fast. I’ve done this route twice, once when the road was closed, I will not do it again with traffic.

        From Glossop to the top its relentless and the reason I went and bought a lighter bike the week after. Gradient is never unrideable but pick a good weather low traffic day if you can as it gets busy with Lorries. An eery bus stop awaits you at the top with roadside parking. Descent to Ladybower in my top 2 descents I've ever done. Fast, and long with beautiful scenery into the valley.
