Definitely agree with Marcoj86's review. It's a pleasant enough climb (particularly in the upper part) but if you're only doing the pass from one side do it from Capelulo. I actually did the pass from both sides as I combined it with a ride to Llandudno to do the excellent climbs on the Great Orme.... read more

Compared to the climb via the other side, this one is not too bad. After each tougher stretch, you get a bit of flat to catch your breath. I would recommend taking this as a descent and tackle the climb via the other side.

Vergeleken met de klim via de andere zijde valt deze heel erg mee. Na elke zwaardere strook krijg je een stukje vlak om even op adem te komen. Ik zou adviseren om deze als afdaling te nemen en de klim via de andere kant te pakken.
