Lamps Moss announces itself with intent, rising sharply and refusing to soften. The road feels exposed and serious, and the gradient demands immediate commitment.
There’s little chance to recover here. Each section flows straight into the next, and the effort quickly becomes all-consuming. It’s a climb that strips things back to basics: push, breathe, repeat.
At the top, the sense of relief is genuine. This is a climb for riders who enjoy sustained pressure and don’t mind being tested without ceremony.
