Sutton Bank & Sneck Yate Bank. Either in % or 1 in (x)
Done both at some point or another but can't remember what gradient. 😐
sutton bank is abbout 25% in places iirc, not sure about the other.
I'm pretty sure:
Snack yate (Boltby) is 20%
Sutton bank is 24%
sutton bank is pretty damned steep at points - 1 in 4 or 5 I'd guess
no idea about the other
Try googling for elevation profiles. If they're hard enough climbs, they'll probably be on google. If they aren't hard enough, you shouldn't even be calling them hills. MTFU.
IIRC Sutton bank is the steepest section of A road we have in the UK. Its shut at the mo so all the cars are getting diverted through my village.

Read the OP, only properly this time, Brickbrain.
Thank you everyone else.
I think chimney bank out of rosedale is the steepest road climb in the uk iirc, same neck of the woods!

Yep its 33%
But I said A class roads,
Done Chimney Bank as well. I'm doing this road ride on Sunday with my eldest lad, summink he fancied doing with me cos we never see each other wiv im livin daan Saaf. Organised by 'Evans Cycles' or something. Anyway, if it doesnt have Sutton, Sneck yate or the Chimney in, i'll be surprised. I'll be the one on a double ringed road bike, wearing baggies & sporting a Dakine Nomad.
I assume you have had a nose through "100 climbs" or what ever its called. Managed to get the missus to let me take the bike up north for the hols. Managed to tick all the routes in the book in that area. Bloody hell Rosedale is steep with zero warm up. Actually its steep with any warm up you like i suspect :lol:.
