Yes, having looked at the map again I can see that Boot's a better starting-point; I presume the climb can't be any steeper than the one up to The Druids' Circle above Penmaenmawr?

No, I wouldn't say so. Not a problem for someone like you.

Boot is the better place to start from, but parking can be tricky unless you park in the Boot Inn carpark. They usually don't mind.

The path starts off very steep and becomes less severe as you go along. The bridleway is indistinct after the ruined buildings, it's much better to take the path marked in a black dotted line on the OS map from hereabouts.
