CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Trooper Lane

Ride only ½ mile but gain 409’ at 17.6% average grade.

Trooper Lane has the feeling of a real hidden gem amongst the busy streets of Halifax. The tough and short climb begins in a relatively nondescript corner of the town by a cemetery. After one very steep switchback, the road begins its path through very old homes and our pavement quality turns to old cobblestone. After the second turn, you’ll leave the tightly placed stone house as the road cuts up the side of the hill offering unobstructed views of Halifax below. There is little respite on the climb and the cobblestones add an extra layer of difficulty, but it is doable on a standard road bike without any issue. The end of the cobblestones mark the end of our climb. For this one, I parked at ‘Shibden Park’ and paid a couple pounds for a few hours. It is a couple miles from the start point of the climb, but much easier than searching for parking closer to the climb.

Climb begins by riding up Trooper Lane from it’s T intersection with Swan Bank Lane at Stoney Royd Cemetery.

This is one of the greatest cobbled roads of England.

One of the shortest, but toughest and funnest (because of the cobbles) climbs in the Yorkshire area.

Great views of Halifax below.

Finish just below the intersection of Trooper Lane and Bank Top.
