Rhiw Fwnws Pass

A lovely route between the Edw and Arrow Valleys. A short sharp climb from the west, longer and gentler from the east.

Glascwm Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

By my reckoning it's about a 103m elevation gain, topping out at 392m, over a distance of a fraction over 1km - an overall 10% climb, with a short steeper section to test you out midway.
