A route that definitely lives up to its name! With almost 1km of climbing to endure, taking you from the picturesque lake at the sheltered Bod Petryal picnic site right up to the exposed moorland that surrounds Llyn Brenig. After all that climbing you’ll really appreciate the wonderful singletrack descents towards the end of this ride; they really do make all the effort worthwhile.
