You'll have usually already done a tonne of climbing to get here and this one will truly check your legs - and maybe, arms - out. Entering the road you're presented with a gradient sign and a steep wall of a climb. Winch yourself past the few houses, taking the tighter corners wide to maintain a seated position & grip. This bit is a struggle but remember, it does get relatively easier as you head towards the Moors. You can get more in to a rhythm in the 2nd half. Over the top you'll soon see Eryri to the right. Very quiet road, I can't recall seeing a vehicle the times I've ridden it.
