A wind from the estuary pushes across the slopes as walkers set off from Conwy’s quay, the castle keeping an eye on the departing group. The trail rises quickly through Bodlondeb Woods, opens into the Sychnant Pass—an ice-carved corridor that funnels the climb—and then moves along a ridgeline that calls for steady footing and steady breath.
