One ridge just wasn't enough, so came up here after finishing off the Glyders. Way too hot, and pretty exhausted but managed three more ticks before nightfall looping out from Llanberis.andrewroberts03/06/2023

Climbed after Moel Eilio with Yeltzbagger via Snowdonia Ranger. Wonderful day.Stevie n Tay20/09/2022
From Snowdon Ranger car park, up the main track, but taking the left fork to revisit Foel Goch to bag it as a Dewey, then along the ridge over Foel Gron to Moel Eliio. Then back tracked and over Moel Cynghorion, before re-joining the Snowdon Ranger path. A tough climb up this section in the heat of a very hot day to reach Crib y Ddysgl, then joining the long line of hikers heading for Yr Wyddfa, the Snowdon summit, but only a 10 minute queue to reach the trig. A long, nearly 9 hour, day in the heat to cover the 22km with 1700m of ascent.silverwolf_alan10/08/2022
10.6 mile walk from end of little road leaving Llanberis (not many spaces to leave cars). Following good path into Maesgwm valley then a fairly steep pull onto Moel Cynghorion. We descended back to the col and climbed very steeply onto Foel Goch, then followed the lovely grassy ridge over Foel Gron and onto Moel Eilio (2nd time bagged) then a long descent to Bwlch Y Groes. Easy up onto Cefn-Du then back to col and descended along good tracks back to car. 968m ascent in high cloud/sunny/breezy conditions. Great views of the surrounding hills, a few people about.DanTrig13/06/2022
A much quicker walk than I expected due o quality of paths. Up Snowdon Ranger path to a few metres below the col then back along the good ridge path and down to the west to join Llanberis path and then Snowdon Ranger. Great views and a very pleasant walk. Time left to drive round and do Mynydd Mawr before the light went.dickscroop27/12/2021

Following Nuttalls routecolinfielding04/07/2019
As I descended from Snowdon, I decided to climb Moel Cynghorion from the Rangers path. Follow path to left of fence, over stile to the corner of the field. The summit is the corner post. Awesome 360 views of Wales's greatest mountains on show. To descend, follow fence towards Llyn Cwellyn and pick up path to Moel Ellio. Turn left onto this path and descend to Rangers Path, whereby you can go back to the car park or climb Snowdon if not already done so. This was a more rewarding climb than Wales's highest mountain simply for the brilliant views. Need a clear day something that rarely happens high up in Snowdonia.giant_hiker03/06/2019
