Here you can view the legendary Hardknott Pass in full including some on-screen data. I had to use the very broken Garmin VIRB edit tool but have tried to line up the route details as best I can.

Assuming gears like 36-32 or 34-30, and assuming the rider is relatively fresh at the bottom (ie not after 90 miles 10000ft like the Fred or the struggle), my order of difficulty are hard knot, wrynose (from langdale), Dunn fell, bwlch y groes, trooper lane, asterton bank, chimney. If you had say 39-26 gears like back in the day, it would be a different order based on gradient ie chimney would be 2nd after hardknott. Many chains were snapped back in the day but the gears take the edge off them all now. As for latest 1-1 ratios: no challenge on any of em, unless you are well heavy.

@@deankelz29 great to hear! I’ve only been into cycling a few years myself and started from scratch like most of us. Always here if you want any tips and just enjoy every pedal stroke 😁

The cruising section is 10% average I think this and Rosedale are comparably horrendous but this takes the cake.

@theyorkshirewheeler 12 дней назад

The cruising section on Hardknott is a lovely little relief before it starts going up and up again further along 😂 did Rosedale a couple years ago and remember zig zagging that big drag at the top 😬

Ay up! Well done on your big ride, especially not getting off at that 33 percent section! Harknott and Wrynose are a test of brute strength. Many years ago I got up both, going both ways without stopping. Last year I couldn't do that and had to stop quite a few times. I'm training and getting stronger though, so may try again this year. I think you would like a ride I did recently, which was a massive loop around Great Dun Fell, including going up it! I did a video of it. All the best from a fellow Yorkshireman :)

@theyorkshirewheeler 24 дня назад

I haven’t done the other way yet, it sure is a sketchy descent I’ll say that! I need to get back over there and do Wrynose the official top 100 direction still

@russellmoore1533 22 дня назад

I did both Hardknotts and Wrynose pass, east to west in 1991 on a fully loaded camping touring bike, I had a low gear of 25" and there was no chance of stopping on the very steep parts or I would have fallen over..

@theyorkshirewheeler 22 дня назад

I love hearing people's Hardknott stories it's the climb that has so much to offer for various reasons 😀

@bravethomasyt 22 дня назад

I think Rosedale Chimney is harder. It's shorter but it's very steep from start to finish.

@theyorkshirewheeler 22 дня назад

Definitely a tough one that. I did that and glaisdale horror on a struggle event a while back. Maybe I should do a ‘my top 10 hardest climbs’ video 😄

@heavymetal6910 22 дня назад

177 bpm whilst riding 21% gradient 😮 mine would be 1770 bpm

@theyorkshirewheeler 21 день назад

😂 think I hit my max at one point which is around 183-185

@shanegreen2583 25 дней назад

I don’t think hardknott is that hard. It’s all about the start and the middle 30% section of 30 metres. Between those and the top it’s a steady ride. Honister for me is way harder

@theyorkshirewheeler 24 дня назад

Yeah tbh I don’t see why so many claim it’s the hardest, it is hard but is perfectly doable for most. I haven’t done Honister yet but have seen a few claim it’s definitely in their top 5 hardest

@markhall6026 20 дней назад

Have you tried trooper lane in Halifax @theyorkshirewheeler

@theyorkshirewheeler 20 дней назад

@@markhall6026yeah still haven’t done it, I’m not actually too far from there at all. Wanted to do the Ronde van Calderdale but couldn’t make it this year. I’ve got a little route planned to tick off Trooper Lane, Shibden Wall & Ploughcroft Lane from the Top 100 and Yorkshire expansion pack. Just need to get over that way and make the ride more worthwhile. Have you done it?
