This 2nd instalment of the Cross Stone climbs follows the same road as climb (40. Cross Stone Rd (Todmorden) for the first 0.4 miles before turning left onto Hey Head Lane. This climb is tougher than climb 40 covering 1.6 miles with an average gradient of 10.2% and a maximum gradient of 15.2%. The simple fact on this climb is there are no places to rest if you plan to complete it without stopping. Climb status very hard (Double Black) and (Cat 3).

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 this category.
Distance: 2.6 km
