Name that climb!

[Roger Irrelevant]

I was out on one of my regular routes today and realised that I knew pretty much every metre of it off by heart - where the potholes are, how the gradient changes on the climbs etc, so I thought I'd see how familiar the forum is with some of my 'favourite' (doesn't seem like quite the word!) climbs. So, where's this?:

Good game, I'll post some of mine later. As for this one, Bealach na ba?

[Roger Irrelevant]

Nope, but the Ba is top of the list of climbs I've yet to do in the UK.

Newlands Pass in the Lakes. An immediate climb after the first feed stop on the Fred Whitton. Always hurts !

This was going to be my follow-up one! Great Dun Fell - haven't done it for a few years now, but drive past it on the A66 every few weeks.

This one's a real stinker:

No, but it is quite like Honister done the Fred Whitton way - very steep at the start, then flattens out a bit, then another not-quite-as-steep bit towards the top. This is the bit near the top:

I've ridden the Mow Cop killer mile a few times.

It still holds Hardknot Pass' coat though!
