This is one of Calderdale’s hidden climbs leaving the village of Luddendenfoot in the valley floor this climb covers 1.1 miles over an average gradient of 10.4% and a maximum of 17.9% putting it in the super tough category. A little navigation is needed on this climb as you take a tight hairpin turn left from Danny Lane to Greystones Road about a 3rd of the way up. The gradient eases after 0.6 miles but is no means easy staying at around 10%. Climb status very hard (Double Black) and (Cat 3).
