Start at the junction with A62, which is on your left one hundred yards passed the Mountain Rescue station, as described in previous climb. The first part at “Throstle Nest” is steep around 12%. Once past the row of houses at Wood Top this section lessens its incline as you continue up the side of Pule Hill passing the Pule Side club. Pass above the golf course on your left and now is the chance for the power riders to get into their rhythm with a strong pedalling action as the gradient is only 6%, all the way to its junction with Mount Road where you finish this particular climb. Great views are to be had over the Wessenden Valley reservoirs.
