Penllech

Wales, wales

At just 1.2km, Penllech is short but deceptively intense — 54m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 4.4%, the road kicks to 8% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wales, Wales.

  • A gentler outing by Wales standards — a good introduction to the country's climbing.
