Pen Llithrig y Wrach & Clogwyn Llech Lefn with Rufus. Parked in the national park car park behind Joe Brown's in Capel Curig and followed A5 N to ROW leading to south ridge of Pen Llithrig y Wrach. Descending from summit WNW to Bwlch y Tri Marchod and the slight top of Clogwyn Llech Lefn. Followed fence line S from bwlch to pick up original path back to road. Cloud inversion to E & S with lovely views over Tryfan & the high Carneddau. I had PyLW mistakenly logged for 11 years at the time thinking I had done it as part of the southern carneddau circuit, I have finally figured out the logging mistake and ascended this lovely mountain. | jacobrichmond | 21/02/2023 |

12 mile walk from Capel Curig starting in sunshine, followed road then up boggy path to water channel, followed water channel to foot of Y Braich ridge and climbed to Pen Yr Helgi Du, the weather was still good by this time but the Glyders went into cloud, descended and steeply ascended onto Pen Llithrig Y Wrach, descended to end of reservoir and ascended pathless slopes onto Creigiau Gleison, by this time the weather had took a turn for the worst, we nearly went into cloud. Followed rough path onto Craiglwyn, then climbed up Craig Wen and Crimpiau, by this time every hill we had done earlier went into cloud, descended to Capel Curig. Great but strenuous walk, if we had started an hour later all the walk would have probably been in cloud! | DanTrig | 09/04/2017 |

After completing a traverse of Creigiau Gleision needed to get back to the car so went up over this one | garyhoney | 01/05/2004 |
Very gradual and marshy climb from the A5 near Capel Curig, with the mountain never seeming to get any closer. Crossed the leat and then the final ascent of 1,000 feet began, but there is no path evident and plenty of false summits. Finally arrived at the cairn. I was able to enjoy the views across to Creigiau Gleision in the east, and Pen yr Helgi Du and the high Carneddau in the west. Descended via a different route and went as far almost as the shore of Llyn Cowlyd. | peter4lc | 07/12/2003 |

Third ascent, with Robin. | thenomad | 28/04/1994 |
Walked across the big Carneddau first, taking a delightful way up Pen yr Olwen by its E ridge from Fynnon Lloer. Ridge walk fron Craig yr Ysfa and Pen yr Helgi ddu- a lovely section . This mountain is a big slog, tis my only visit, but the view over Llyn Colwyd was spectacular.I walked along a path by a leat back and went through neglected pastures via Tan y braich. This was some of the wettest terrain I've encountered in N Wales, I'd be interested to know what it's like now. | pwheeler | 20/03/1994 |

This top does feel like the end of the world - or the end of this great ridge walk. 
A drop to the Reservoir below gives this top an airy final feel.
