Halifax to Withens

This climb begins in the district Town centre of Calderdale and heads to the rural high spot of Withins. Covering 5.8 miles this climb has some challenging sections as the gradient ramps up to a maximum 8.4%; however the overall gradient of the climb is quite shallow at 2.8%. The weather can play its part on the upper sections of this climb and for those happy to ride on a poor road surface at the summit the road continues to Oxenhope and climb (14. Oxenhope to Cock Hill TDF). Climb status hard (Red) and (Cat 3).
