A good climb from either side. Climbing it from the north is my favoured route (7% 1.3 miles). For those wanting a break try the Wellsprings Café / Spanish Mexican Restaurant, about half way up from the North.

Tough climb from either side but especially out of Sabden

This is probably the easier side compared to climbing out of Sabden. Not many places in England where you can ride to a ski station though!
