Up The Buttress 2013: The Results

Steeper than it looks

“How are the cobbles running today?” “What tyres?” “What tyre pressure?” “What time does the bar open?” All very valid questions at the third running of the Up The Buttress event in Hebden Bridge. What is the Buttress? It’s a cobbled hill so steep that it takes its name from stone structures that prop up walls.

The Buttress used to be a way up the steep Calderdale hills from Hebden to the village of Heptonstall, high on the hilltop, but now this cobbled lane is only used occasionally by people wanting to take the short and painful way up the hill. Which was the case on Saturday.
