Ah, trick question!!

I will revise my answer to the adjacent slope of Ashlet, that nice easy starter-climb on the Callow race!
approx 350mtrs, GR 440 928
Spot on. It sure is a great way to start a race.

It's bad enough when fresh. I went up there 3hrs into my attempt on the Gill Harris Round, nearly came to a standstill!
Wonderful names for all these summits on the Long Mynd: Ashlet, Yearlet, Grindle, Nills, Callow, . . .

I'm thinking of giving that a go sometime soon but not before spring next year. I can definitely see the wheels coming off if that climb is 3 hours in. It's thankfully not as bad as Yearlet though. That has to be the toughest in the area from either the LMVs or Callow direction.

Indeed, the "batch" and "Hollow" names are equally lovely.

There is the option to run the Gill Harris in the opposite direction, which gives you a lot of climb early on, and a lot of running still to do, but possibly provides a bit more scope for route variation.
If/when i have another go, i'm looking at a few options going clockwise this time...
But yes, none of the climbs are as bad as Yearlet from any direction...!

Another one from me. A famous view, but does any one know it?!?
Are you near Camasunary by the river coming out of Loch na Creitheach with Blabheinn (Blaven) in the cloud on the right?
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
