South from car park on A470 at top of pass. Found a good path west of crags, in Scotland I would have called it a stalkers' path, all the way up to the wall, much shorter than the path to the east and easy going. Then along the wall over Cribin Fawr to Waun-oer, back a short way to drop easily down to forest track, followed to end and then an easy line back up to fence, Crasig Portas and Maen Du. Dropped down to Penintag Uchaf and back on road. 
Afternoon pleasant walk along the fences to Pen y Brynfforchog. | dickscroop | 11/11/2021 |

Fresh snow had fallen in the night which made this hard going. Parked in the lay-by on the A487 which is popular for walkers going up Cadair Idris. Took the path that crossed the cyclepath (that looks like a great cycle) and got my walking sticks out for the first time ever. Couldn't find the path because of the snow so I made my own way up. At the top, walked along the edge of the wood to the summit. Good views at the top as the cloud base was quite high. Came back the same way. Found the proper path on the way down from the woods but it was very slippy and I had to do a “controlled descent” on the way down on my bum a couple of times. | tsharp | 22/03/2017 |

On a backpack. Camped just under summit near a small tarn which was my water supply. Great top, lovely views. Could see the pub at Cross Foxes from the tent! | mick | 04/05/2016 |

Via Cribbin Fawr avoiding low flying jets, but only just. | Campbell Singer | 16/03/2016 |
Wind so strong could not hold camera to take photo. Hung on to trig to log on TP-UK and had to make do with snap on mobile. Heavy morning rain slow to clear replaced by gradually clearing skies with good visibility. Strong wind became stronger almost blowing me off my feet on many occasions. Parked in car park near 363m spot height on A470. Cribin Fawr->Waun-oer->Craig Portas->Craig Portas East Top->Maesglase->Maesglase (old GR) - Maen Du. Only 7.83 miles but comparatively a lot of ascent at 964m. No wonder felt tired on final walk back to van along A470 from Penantigi Isaf. Better to park near milepost to reduce final walk back to van. | mntainman | 09/03/2016 |
With Penda, from car park on A470. CF to W to M and back. Long flog over boggy ground on way to M. 1230-1715. Trip enlivened by lots of Red Kites. Only saw one other person in distance. | beorwulf | 19/09/2015 |
