A particularly steep section on the Waddington Fell Climb. As you approach it from Newton it can look particularly daunting, bit of a stinger at an average of 8% but maxing out at around 20%. You get a brief respite at the top before continuing on the rest of the Waddington Fell (Hallgate Hill) climb.

The full climb is known as Newton Fell in the 100 great climbs list.

As a descent from the south, it offers an opportunity for the brave to reach around 50mph on an exhilarating straight down to Newton.
