From Pen y Pass, up the Miners path to Llyn Teyrn.derrymark11/07/2023
Parked on A4086, just east of the county boundary. Walked back along the road and up the permissive path to Pen y Pass. Took the PYG track to Bwlch y Moch, then followed the fence up to Craig Fach. Back to and along the PYG track up to the top of the zig zags, then right to snowy Crib y Ddysgl, then back along the snow covered corrie rim to Snowdon. From the summit headed down the steep Watkin path, which thankfully was fairly snow free. Along the west ridge of the horseshoe, visiting Y Lliwedd (W+E peaks) and Lliwedd Bach. Then down to the Miner's Track, with a quick diversion to bag Clogwyn Pen Llechen. On reaching Pen y Pass went up and over Moel Berfedd, dropping down to the A4086. 19km in total with 1400m ascent, taking me 9 hours.silveracorn_alan15/04/2023

From Craig Fach. Returned to the Pyg Track, headed west for 200m, then worked my way down between crags to meet the Miners' Track where it crosses Llyn Llydaw. Followed it east, then crossed the bogs west of Llyn Teyrn (would usually have been very wet, but not today) and climbed the west ridge to the summit. Then returned the same way to rejoin the Miners' Track to Pen y pass. Solo.Man of Kernow110/07/2018
Detour from the Miners' Track to Snowdon via Gribyn ridge. A bit squelchy around the lake but a fine, airy view on the top. Worth an extra 15 minutes walk.Jake99402/06/2018

First bit of climb up from Afon Glaslyn was pretty hard going after a long day round the horseshoe, but after reaching Llyn Teryn height it levelled out. Decent view back. On reaching Miners' Track some startled elderly Germans said it looked like I'd climbed out the ground.agentmancuso15/07/2015
Bagged on a walk from Llanberis to Pen y Pass, via Llechog, Crib y Ddysgl, Yr Wyddfa, Y Lliwedd, Y Lliwedd East Top and Lliwedd Bach. A bit boggy underfoot but an easy detour off the Miner's Track.Sprog23/05/2015
