Ellen Holme Rd to Sykes Lane (Luddendenfoot)

This is another short climb in the Luddendenfoot area covering 0.8 miles with an average gradient of 6.8% and a maximum of 15.3%. The first 3^rd of this climb is really easy and the road even descends slightly in parts, however once you go under the railway the challenge begins and the tarmac ramps up. After the first real rise there is a short descent before you hit a wall of tarmac all the way up to Pinfold Lane. Climb status very hard (Double Black) and (Cat 4).

Climb Status

Very Hard – Double Black

A Very Hard – Double Black climb will feature super technical difficulty and really challenge amateur and profession cyclists alike. Climbs of this nature are likely to have an average gradient over 10% and sections over 15% gradient make these climbs seriously tough. Calderdale has a number of road and mountain bike climbs that sit in this category.
