Oops! Yes that wouldn't be a very encouraging first fell race would it? I've just gone back to the memory map and in fact it's about 500 feet in the first mile and a quarter and 1083 feet approx overall. The second climb is from Beldon Beck to Greenhaw Hut which is about 200 feet but seems more. But it's on a jeep track. The rest of the ascent is made up of undulations and steady climbs.
