Description
Some describe the climb as a sprinters climb. The climg starts once you pass the drive way on your right. All then goes quiet for while. Once you pass the road sign on your left the lactic kicks in and from there till the end is a non stop effort to the line which is right outside the Monsal Head Hotel.
