Only a few miles from me, I get tired driving up it!! A tough one and Dan can make any climb look easy!AndyTheBikeGuy wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 10:34 pmSeconded, although Strava has it at 3km. Either way, it's on the home turf of ex hill climb champion Dan Evans so it must be good...
So if Jeff has endorsed it and he topples summits. Can we conclude that this one indeed is the toughest UK climb. Or is it still work in progress/debate.summittoppler wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:16 pmOnly a few miles from me, I get tired driving up it!!

Out of interest, anyone on here actually climbed it (on a road bike)... Turning into a 'best thread of all time' this Ton... Thanks![]()
Reg... I do. But getting there by mtb is a long thing and possibly a chore. My grvl wannabe bike might be able to I'd prefer not to walk up it (at all). The grvl (wannabe) is 34 rear and 34 front (so a proper 1 ratio)... hmmm. Amazing find that and well done RegRIP wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 7:27 pmAye, several years ago, on MTB. Quite entertaining.

Yeah I've rode it but only on a mtb over the years and probably not in the last 7 due to riding fat. Also I like to think I'm wiser now so as not to even include it on a route!
Well... The other day I came across a wuarry and wondered if you'd seen it. It said to ensure children dont go and play (or summat) and no trespassing and that it was on 'closed time'. So I added all thre together and realised they must've been talking bout children shouldn't trespass and parents should tell em off. So I looked around to ensure my mum n dad weren't anywhere to be seen and went and took a little secret peek (for you off course

My mistake, Rowen, the climb up the the YHA. It’s about 5 miles south of Conwy - I’ve done it loaded up on the SS but can’t recall if I pushed it or notsummittoppler wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 11:08 amWhere's this Rowan climb?voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Fri Sep 25, 2020 10:07 am The Panceltic team, based in North Wales, were musing about the Rowan climb being the toughest in the UK and they’ve done the Llyn Cowlyd climb several times.........
I thought it might have been typo. Yeah I know the climb well and yes its a killer. It's only about 5 miles from me. Very steep at a point! Personally I think the Trefriw climb is tougher one though.voodoo_simon wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 12:23 pmMy mistake, Rowen, the climb up the the YHA.

Edit - just looked at my blog from 2013 and I said I pushed parts of it![]()
