Nice work, have you tried Bar Lane at rowsley, thats a sweet climb, I love the buzz of a big steep climb. It's what it's all about. The triple faggots go home...!
I just did this climb this afternoon! Absolute hell, but managed to get up - just! I thought I was going to have to stop just after the second grit bin (around 4:00 on this video), but was cheered on by some walkers, so couldn't stop. Never been so happy to see a cattle grid!

@taffboyslim Did this again this afternoon, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke. Halfway up I promised myself that this would be the last time. I've got a triple crank, so went up on a 30:28, but I was standing up for some of the climb. It's worth it for the view (and the ride) from Mam Tor down into Edale.
Great effort with good speed. I rode up it 5 times yesterday on a 39 chainring and 25 sprocket. I am training for the fred whitton ride and needed to do some repeats to get my legs use to climbs. Did it no problem but on my 5th ride up I actually notice I was following my own trail of sweat on the floor. It was like a someone had poured water along the road! PS my speed was as low as 3 MPH whilst climbing!
Great video I find this one of the hardest climb I have done in the uk and I have done wynrose and hardknott in the lakes its not the longest but the extreme steepness goes on for ages
went up it for the 1st time this sunday my reason for not making up on the bike i rode 45 miles to get to it ill be back to try again and i will beat it next time my mates think am a wip for not doing it
Insane. Hopefully I'll be able to do Winnats at some point on my current bike, i've tried several times, I end up walking most of it. My lowest ratio is 39 - 23 though, so not exactly ideal. I will try it again tomorrow.
Nice view!!! the scenery is not bad either.I have cycled up winnats a few times myself.Earlier this year i was challenged to go up it,on my 53 tooth front 24 rear sprocket.I succeeded.But i should have filmed it.Will try again soon and record it for you tube.
now i've riden it this brings the memory of the utter slog & pain straight back. The gradient is far harsher than it ever looks on screen...just as my legs & especially my back !
am I looking forward to riding up this on Sunday on the Polka Dott Challenge ? mmmm yes & no ! at least i know whats coming (steep climb & loads of cars attempting dodgy overtaking)
Well done. Doing this on the 27th may, glad to be able to see it first. You made it look very easy.

@taffboyslim 30:28 and still needed to stand up! LOL I used to do it in a 42:21 (I was a bit younger back then though)!

Nicely done. I ride up Winnat's pass most Saturdays and it's always tough. Somehow you can never quite capture just how steep it is on video :)

Serious climb is Winnats. When I was fit and racing used to ride it on a 42 x 23. I'd probably die trying now though!
