The easier option of this popular local climb up to 'Langbar'. Certainly not as steep as approaching from the end closer to Bolton Abbey, there are a couple of punchy sections, but on the whole, the rise is steady. Starting at Carter's Lane and passing through Middleton before eventually reaching the right turn onto Hardings Lane. The views are stunning across the valley once you reach the straight section of this lane towards the village of Langbar, with Ilkley and Addingham in the bottom of the valley and The Cow and Calf visible on the opposite facing side.

It's certainly easier heading up Hardings Lane from Ilkley than taking on Lanshaw Bank out of Beamsley to get to Langbar, but it is still fairly steep ascent. The rewards are spectacular views and the pat on the back you can give yourself for making it to the top. Definitely worth the effort.
