Twtil

352.2 m · net rise 49.5 m · overall 14.1% · confidence: good · Harlech · Gwynedd

Shape: sustained — 32% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 294 m.

Documented on the ground — tag: 25% (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 9% 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.
