Number 55 on the top 100 UK climbs, the Rosedale Chimney heads south from Rosedale Abbey and up onto the moors.

At its steepest the gradient taps on 33 percent, with an average of 13-14 percent for the entire stretch of climb (it's just under a mile).

A bit twisty as a climb, and the gradient ramps up on the inside of the corners so pick your line (and your gearing) wisely.

Absolutely amazing road. After the climb the descent on the other side is one of the best in the UK
