| From Crimea Pass layby straight up to Moel Farlwyd and along to Moel Penamnen and Foel Fras and back. Low cloud and steady rain for the whole trip. Others went to zip world as a drier option. | richard69 | 06/05/2022 |

| A splendid walk along a mainly grassy ridge from the car park at Crimea Pass on a very warm September day, visiting Moel Farlwyd, Moel Penamnen, Foel-fras and Y Ro Wen. Then return along the ridge, cutting below the summits on the south side to the Crimea Pass. Followed by a quick up and down of Moel Dyrnogydd. 18.5km with 810m ascent in 6 hours.

| From Crimea Pass. Moel Farlwyd, Moel Penamnen, Foel-fras, returned below Moel Penamnen (under the crags) then across A470 to climb Moel Dyrnogydd. Nice day with excellent views | RobertP | 06/09/2020 |
| Moel Farlwyd, Moel Penamnem & Foel Fras from Crimea Pass with Rufus. 7am start, took a few minutes to find the stile, I won’t give any more details to save you some fun! Out and back basically following the NP boundary on the OS map, cutting across a fence and gully above Llynau Barlwyd and traversing under the summit of Moel Penamnem on the return. Better terrain than I expected and a fast round trip of just under 2 hours. | jacobrichmond | 31/08/2020 |

| From the Crimea Pass. Welsh Hump completion for the nth time. I may well have been on this before as I climbed Moel Penamnen from the same place but thought I’d make sure. | Chris Peart | 06/03/2020 |

| From the stile at the south end of the car park on the Crimea Pass. Headed E.N.E to the ridge to make it easier. Headed for Foel Fras next. Solo. | bolton | 09/06/2017 |

| Steep and rocky descent from Moel Penamnen to bwlch north of Llynnau Barlwyd and nearly as steep ascent again up Moel Farlwyd. Maybe something to do with long hard day from the Manods. Very satisfying to see 4 of the days five peaks from this summit, the Manods seem a long way away. Now for a 3 mile hike back to the van in Blaenau Ffestiniog. | mntainman | 11/10/2016 |
| Parked in the free car park at the Crimea Pass, then over the hidden stile, located by the wall at the edge of the car park. Quick, easy ascent, great views in lovely autumn sunshine. With JT. | Sprog | 09/10/2016 |
| From car park to west. Surprisingly big drop to bwlch that wouldn't have been surprising if I'd looked at the map properly. On to Moel Penamnen. | Wycombe Wanderer | 17/09/2016 |
