10.6 mile out-and-back from car park at end of road near Llyn Eigiau. We followed the good track NW around the end of the Cefn Tal-Llyn-Eigiau ridge then after the 2nd wall heading SW a good trail starts ascending to Craig Eigiau summit. We followed it across the surprisingly un-boggy Gledrffordd moor and ascended to col between Carnedd Llewelyn and Foel Grach. Then it's an easy rocky ascent onto Carnedd Llewelyn's summit (2nd time bagged). Great views in all directions but a bit hazy today. We then descended through easy rocks and stones from summit onto the Yr Elen ridge and easily onto it's summit. We retraced our steps and climbed part way back up Llewelyn joining our outward route, then descended back to car park pretty much the same way. 903m ascent throughout. Not many people about on this lovely sunny day. Afterwards we drove just down the road and bagged Waen Bryn-Gwenith. | DanTrig | 15/06/2022 |

On walk: Bethesda- Fynnon Caseg- Yr Elen- Carnedd Llewellyn- Carnedd Dafydd- Pen yr Ole Wen- Ogwen Bank. This is a fine approach to the Carneddau (Crib Lem is another good way- scambling- to the ridge from here). Fynnon Caseg is worth visiting on its own, today frozen and surrounded with icy cliffs it was very impressive. From its outlet I walked up the slope curving onto Yr Elen's excellent E ridge, much easier than it looks from the lake. Ice axe needed today. | pwheeler | 16/03/1985 |
