August 6, 2022,Steeped hedge sparrow with double traction control.

Mytholm Steeps done.

The Buttress in Hebden, however, beat me.
Twice.
In the precise same place - 5 metres from the top of the steepest section (35% apparently) I lost traction due to mud between the cobbles.

I also mashed a hedge sparrow in my front spokes that flew, as it would happen, out of the hedge beside me. Sorry …
