This is one seriously tough climb. Mixed surfaces (grass, rocks, gravel, mud) but nothing too tricky in dry conditions. A few very steep sections, and a couple of badly positioned gates (on the steep sections!), make this very challenging indeed. One of those climbs where the combo of gradient and terrain made it impossible to change position on the bike, hence it was a bit of a back breaker. The views to the south and west from the top are fantastic.
