Lane near Llanarmon Mynydd Mawr
762.4 m · net rise 84.5 m · total ascent 86.4 m · overall 11.1% · confidence: good · Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant · Powys
Shape: sustained — 43% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 132 m.
Documented on the ground — tag: 20% (2026). Signs get repainted and tags get retagged, so the date is part of the fact; not yet matched against any cycling list.
≈ Overhead cover (tree canopy or structures) spans 43% of this route — detected by comparing the surface model (DSM, treetops and rooftops) against the terrain model (DTM, bare ground). Under cover the bare-ground model is built from fewer laser returns, so metre-scale readings can wobble; maxima whose window sits in a covered zone are marked ≈ below — less certain — the flag does not say whether the true value is higher or lower. Longer windows average over more clean ground and are steadier.
