It's tough, but not crazy. Beautiful on a sunny day.

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.

Challenging/tasty climb. Or... fun downhill after climbing Mam Nick, whichever way you prefer. Either way around, absolutely breathtaking views! The road isn't super wide, so do be mindful of cars, whether you're ascending or descending :)

I’d grab a coffee and flapjack at the edale train station cafe before tackling mam nick … great climb !!

One of the most famous routes in the Peak District, The Great Ridge has stunning views on a clear day down to Castleton and Edale, and over to the peaks of Grindslow Knoll and Kinder Scout. It gets quieter as you travel further along the ridge to Lose Hill, with many people just nipping up to the Mam Tor summit. It's a lovely place for a sunrise and cloud inversions, popular with photographers, so get there early! Parking is at the National Trust Mam Tor car park, just down the hill from Mam Tor (S33 8WA).

A bit of a cross roads on the Great Ridge. It's around halfway between Mam Tor and Back Tor and from here you can head down into Edale or Castleton. There is a Monument near the gate.

Here's a video of the riding at Jacobs ladder to help you to know what to expect https://youtu.be/NJTX7VLocTE

One stunning but punchy climb full of hikers and riders. Try and get to it early before all the cars are there
