A relentless, gruelling climb. Dig in, use the few places where the gradient is just a bit shallower, don't give up.

Harder than I thought it would be (having previously descended it) and I still knew it was going to be hard. Once the steep stuff starts it doesn't stop... for a long way! There are a couple of very brief shallower sections on which it's a goods idea to make some use of... a few calmer breaths, then go again. The little pinch at the very top is torturous... but you're not giving up there!
