An alternative start to the climb from Capelulo. Not much to choose between the two as this one joins the Capelulo climb at the start of the best bit - the 12-14％ section up the open side of the pass to the summit.... read more

Very nice climb. Just outside the hustle and bustle of Conwy, you enter some beautiful scenery. This side of the climb takes you back to Conwy, but is by far the toughest and most beautiful side to climb. Traffic is not too bad and the views are beautiful. The percentages don't lie, the climb gets progressively harder. If you are in the area, be sure not to miss this climb.

Heel mooi klimmetje. Net buiten de drukte van Conwy kom je in een mooi landschap. Deze zijde van de beklimming voert je terug naar Conwy, maar is veruit de zwaarste en mooiste kant om te beklimmen. Verkeer valt erg mee en de uitzichten zijn fraai. De percentages liegen er niet om, de klim wordt steeds iets lastiger. Als je in de buurt bent zeker deze klim niet vergeten mee te pakken.
