Moel y Faen

At just 2.8km, Moel y Faen is short but deceptively intense — 145m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.1% disguises ramps of 16.5% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 2 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. Located in Wales, Wales.
