    According to Simon Warren, there should be a government health alert for this climb from Trefriw. It is endlessly steep - at least 14% - throughout the 3km. The nature around you is a just reward for the torture experienced. Is the Cowlyd or Bwlch y Groes the hardest in Wales?

    So steep, but amazing. Great views from the top, very quiet road.
