Super steep, but therefore a real experience. You have to make serious efforts to keep your front wheel on the ground. Garmin regularly indicated more than 30％. It may not have been that bad, but it will not have been far off. Asphalt is not too good everywhere and, as you can already see from the photos's, one of the steepest sections is at the very bottom. Would definitely not do it as a descent partly for this reason.... read more

Super steil, maar daardoor wel echt een belevenis. Je moet serieus moeite doen om je voorwiel op de grond te houden. Garmin gaf geregeld meer dan 30％ aan. Zo erg zal het misschien niet geweest zijn, maar het zal er niet ver af hebben gezeten. Asfalt is niet overal al te best en zoals je op de foto's al ziet, zit een van de steilste stukken helemaal onderaan. Zou hem mede daarom zeker niet als afdaling doen.

As the profile shows, it is ridiculously steep to begin, the second you leave the main road. A very narrow, obscure road. I was unfit at the time and had to briefly stop (which is completely against my religion). At the T junction on top you can go across via gate on to a rough track, then join an easy track to the pass at Trawsfynydd 401 metres, which becomes tarmac for the following descent. Or else you could just turn left and view the stunning lakes.
