A good test of fitness for the locals. If attacked from Ribchester it makes it one of the longest climbs in the area (although you do have to cross a road). The steepest side is from the north from Rock Brow and then up Forty Acre Lane (the initial 'ramp' on this peaks out at +25%, so take your lungs with you). The steep side is probably best avoided in icy conditions. If coming from the east you can also come up torturous Birdy Brow and join the climb half way along. Also, no shortage of views at the top.
