With Mo. Parked in the hotel car park at pont Cyfyng. £10 per day not unexpected for the A5 in Snowdonia. Followed the Trail Magazine route through the disused quarry and then scrambled up Deaer DDu, avoiding some of the hardest sections. Very boggy around the last quarry lake. Descended on the tourist path, avoiding the rocky promontory.gbeniston06/05/2023
Daear Ddu ridge up, northeast ridge down. Fantastic walk up with a range of exposure & scrambling options. Extensive views on the way down. Bit boggy at the base & around the LlynsBarns15001/05/2023

Scramble up Daear Ddu and down the tourist routeIam_JoshEdwards29/11/2022
From Dolwyddelan with DB. Through forestry and then up steep rocky slopes, pathless on times but picked up the traverse path a little higher up. Very windy so avoided the ridge. Windy up top too. A few others about- one chap from Aber, a group from Liverpool way ( perhaps).. Off to Carnedd y Cribau next.stig_nest09/10/2022

With Lindsey and a dozen or so GMC members. We convened at the Hut and started walk at approx 10am - it was already hot by then. Followed the mine track past the quarries to Llyn y Foel. Started the Daear Ddu scramble together but ended up ascending it in individual groups. Reconvened at summit for lunch. Lindsey and I descended to the forestry track for a swim in Llyn Mymbyr - very hot by then. Walked back to hut then drove to WK.Skip17/07/2021
