Starting in Reeth, ride eastwards along the sometimes steeply rolling Swaledale before tackling the mighty Buttertubs pass (Official Climbs #49).
Admire the views over vertiginous dip on your left hand side after the first crest on Buttertubs; this is a brief opportunity for you to rest your legs before the final climb to the summit. Then keep going up until you reach the cattle grid.
