Lovely climb this one. The road snakes pleasantly up the hill, with the striking Windgather Rocks always visible, drawing you up. Mostly around 6-7% with several pitches at a wince-inducing 10%+. Once up you get panoramic views and after the Rocks, the gradient levels out so get back on the big ring and fly up to the top! Definitely turn left at the top and into beautiful Goyt Valley. Right and you're descending Pym's Chair and the only way out of the valley is back up some super steep roads in poor condition.
