    Tips

    April 8, 2025

    Climbing Snake Pass westwards from Ladybower Reservoir on the A57 is a long, steady ascent through classic Peak District moorland, demanding rhythm and endurance rather than explosive power. Settle in for the extended effort as the average gradient is only around 3-4%, though some sections might steepen temporarily to perhaps 6-8%. Experience the vast, open scenery unfolding around you as you gain height. The defining challenge here is often less the gradient and more the significant exposure to wind sweeping across the high moors, so be prepared to battle the elements on this scenic but often demanding A-road climb towards the summit.
