At Seatoller, the road starts its climb up to Honister Pass. This part of the route has many zig-zags, with gradients of 1 in 4 (25%) as it struggles up the 200 metres (600 feet) to the top. The top of the pass is an upland wilderness, with barren slopes and many erratic boulders, that is often covered in snow in the winter.
The road is also very popular with cyclists due to its scenic backdrop with many hills and mountains. Along the road, sheep are also a common sight. During the summer, the road is usually very busy with tourists.
