A category 4 climb that leads to the Carlton Bank DH Track, It has a average gradient of 14% which peaks at 29%. The climb is incredible technical and im unsure if its even possible without hike-a-biking.

Hiking

If Cringle End is your destination, approach from Lordstones Country Park to the west, the gradient is more forgiving and the path is relatively straight. If you crest Cringle Moor from the east you will find the ascent comprises vicious sections of very twisty stone path with much steeper gradient, according to the elevation profile on Komoot, up to and over 33%. Quite punishing if you already have already covered a lot of miles and ascent.
