6.4 mile out-and-back from Rhyd-Ddu car park up Rhyd-Ddu path the onto track to the old quarries crossing a ladder stile and ascending steep but easy slopes up to ridge and then to summit. 568m ascent. The views today were amazing. Not a cloud in the sky and not too hazy taking in most of Southern Snowdonia and all of Cardigan Bay and dare I say the best view of Snowdon from another mountain. Great little summit too. A hidden gem of a mountain. | DanTrig | 16/06/2022 |

Cracking day doing Yr Aran and Snowdon via the Watkin path. Weather was bad for August with cloud for most of the day. Started late (11am) to wait for the worst to pass. Struggled finding the path split at first for Yr Aran across the bog but soon found my way towards higher ground. Summited around 2pm for a perfectly timed 30 second break in the clouds. Whole way up and back to the Watkin without seeing another. | MysteriousSue | 16/08/2021 |

Whilst staying at H F Guest House, Craflwyn Hall, near Beddgelert. Solo. After ascending Snowdon I descended the SW ridge (Bwlch Main) passing several people going up but far, far fewer than were going up from Pen-y-Pass. I went over a minor top before descending the S ridge to reach Bwlch Cwm Llan. There were only a few people here. I scrambled up to the top of Yr Aran. A couple were also making the ascent of Yr Aran, the only people I saw on this hill. I continued to Craig Wen, descending to Craflwyn Hall. | pwbellarby | 13/05/2017 |

This day started off majestically as I climbed up through a temperature inversion over Crib Goch. Snowdon was chocker as usual but at least there were excellent views for a change. Yr Aran, the lowest summit of the three for the day, was by no means an anticlimax and the afternoon drew to a satisfying conclusion with a well needed bottle of cold water down at Craflwyn Hall. | Alex C | 08/09/2012 |

The Rhyd-Ddu path turns left on joining with the Bedgellert path and heads straight for Snowdon; I carried straight on towards the South Snowdon Mine Buildings, with the round top of Yr Aran straight ahead. Past the tarn a vague path turns right and leads up the eastern side of the mountain – quite a tough climb but the reward is a breathtaking view up Snowdon’s South Ridge all the way to its summit. | peter4lc | 26/08/2001 |

From Plas Gwynant as a diversion on way up Snowdon. | PeterD | 19/03/1983 |
This seems the awkward Ma to include in a walk on Snowdon, but this route proved revealing and interesting: Beddgelert- Pitts Head- Llechog- Snowdon via Bwlch Main there and back- Bwlch Cwm Llan- Yr Aran- Pont Bethania- Beddgelert. I explored old quarries SW of Bwlch Cwm Llan and made my way from there to the SW ridge of Yr Aran, much nicer than a direct way from the pass, then descended the E ridge to a mine from where I picked up a good path which joined the Watkin Path lower down. Hazy, 10 miles visibility, but much of interest and detail to explore and see. | pwheeler | 05/09/1982 |

Chester Rambling Club day trip by coach to road junction the other side of Lyn Dinas. Party led by Brian Frost and Arthur Wong on track leading past Hafod y Porth (on south west side) to old mine workings (not marked on map). Ascent straight to top of Yr Aran and down the other side (broken rocks, steep). We ascended the south ridge of Snowdon to summit. A pleasant walk. Descent via Crib y Ddysgl and Crib Goch to Pen y Pass. Others descended via Pyg track. Fine warm weather but cloud and haze at a distance. | pwbellarby | 07/10/1962 |

After using the Watkin Path to Snowdon we descended the ridge to Yr Aran. 
A lovely little hill - far from the maddening crowds. 
There was a solitary man on the top painting the valley below (on paper). | ChinnockC | blank |
