Hope Mountain via Barracks Lane

At just 2.6km, Hope Mountain via Barracks Lane is short but deceptively intense — 212m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 8.1% disguises ramps of 18.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 3 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Wales, Wales.
