Lugar favorito para bici de carretera
Imposing and consistently steep, with the hardest stretch near the top and a long stretch of rising road beforehand that will start to tax you before you even reach the climb proper

Honister Pass is not the hardest climb in the Lakes at 'just' 1-in-4 (a minor 25% at its steepest), but I'd definitely rate it as one of my favourites. It's 1.4 miles (2.2 km) with an average gradient of 10%, maxing out at 22%. So, for the Lakes, it's well within reason!
In 2013 the Tour of Britain passed Honister with huge crowds lining the whole climb - three or four deep on the steepest sections and at the top. The weather was pretty horrific too, so it was definitely a spectacle, especially with Nairo Quintana and Dan Martin putting the hammer down.
