A famous road cycling climb that is often used in pro bike races. A tough climb that will really test you, but there's a brilliant view at the top which makes it worth it.

Tough climb! The wide hairpins on the lower slopes helps iron out the steepness. Once you go across the cattle grid the fun begins. The road straightens and it’s extremely hard until the next corner. Rosedale Chimney is the posterboy climb of the Struggle Moors cycling sportive. Hitting this climb after 150km of cycling is not a joke. Climbing this without coming unclicked is a huge achievement. Don't feel ashamed of pushing up the steep section, most do!
The climb is 1.3km long, 14% average steepness and the steepest section is 24%.
