Pen Llithrig y Wrach & Clogwyn Llech Lefn with Rufus. Parked in the national park car park behind Joe Brown's in Capel Curig and followed A5 N to ROW leading to south ridge of Pen Llithrig y Wrach. Descending from summit WNW to Bwlch y Tri Marchod and the slight top of Clogwyn Llech Lefn. Followed fence line S from bwlch to pick up original path back to road. Cloud inversion to E & S with lovely views over Tryfan & the high Carneddau. I had PyLW mistakenly logged for 11 years at the time thinking I had done it as part of the southern carneddau circuit, I have finally figured out the logging mistake and ascended this lovely mountain.jacobrichmond21/02/2023

First did this in early 1990s. But this time a round from Lyn Cowlyd reservoir starting with Pen Llithrig y Wrach and crossing over via bridge to do the two tops of Creigiau Gleision. Only problem was finding the path for the lower section of final descent but not a problem on sometimes tussocky but not difficult ground.dickscroop15/12/2021
