With M, from Capel Curig. Wild day and both feeling ill. Gale force wind at top, could hardly get onto summit rocks without being blown over. Abandoned attempt to continue to Creigiau Gleision and returned the same way.douglas_easton22/10/2022

The Creigiau Gleision horseshoe from the car park at Llyn Crafnant.Alan Caine27/08/2022
Easy track from Capel Curig to col overlooking Crafnant valley. Then headed W up well defined path to rocky summit. Excellent views all round. On to Craig Wen.richard6913/07/2022

Parked at the end of the road that goes past Llyn Crafnant at SH 740 602. Followed the track to Llanberis to its summit (after which a new path has been laid). Then took the mountaineers path over the super peak of Crimpau, down to the col and then up to the summit of Craig Wen for a leisurely lunch in the sun. A round trip of 6.7km with 520m ascent, taking 2h 40m with stops.silveracorn_alan17/04/2022

5 summits from Crafnant with Rufus. Parked in NRW car park and followed yellow footpath to end of the llyn. ROW from Blaen y Nant to E of Crimpiau then path to summit just beyond wall. Rough tracks leading over Craig Wen, Craiglwyn and both tops of Creigiau Gleision. Rough track E to fence then over stile by huge blanket bog to follow track S along old fence posts into forest. Simple forest paths and tracks back to Llyn Crafnant. Boggier and rockier than I expected but a cool perspective of Ogwen.jacobrichmond24/08/2020

A very nice little hill. Walked up from the Siabod cafe with Lindsey. Followed the Nant Y Geuallt valley up to the pass; ate lunch overlooking Llyn Crafnant then up to Crimpiau summit. Returned the same route. Dry but low cloud so views obscured.Skip16/11/2019
