Area: Carneddau, Eryri
An obscure locale indeed, tucked away at the end of the Creigiau Gleision ridge and only really accessible via the brutally steep road that heads to Cowlyd reservoir from Trefriw. To call this minor is an understatement: I didn't even know it existed. It may be the steepest road climb in North Wales, up there with Bwlch y Groes, and it goes on for quite a while. I still felt tired after Saturday's race but time was very tight and I got to the highpoint of the road in 25 minutes from Trefriw before ploughing through tussocks to eventually pick up a good narrow path to the little cairn which marks the top of this obscure (and unusually named) little summit. It would have been nice to take in Creigiau Gleision but instead I descended via very obscure tracks and paths (some overgrown) back to the normal Crafnant road down to Trefriw.
