Open, spectacular, and - if you've the nerve for it, very fast and drifty. It's definitely better as a descent than a climb - more because of what's to come rather than the quality of the trail itself. Be careful not to overcook the corners; it's super-easy to wash your front wheel out, and in Yorkshire the penalties for error are painful and gritty!
