Another adventure with Chris and Nathan. After camping in up by Lynn Idwall, we packed up camp and had an awesome morning scrambling up the north face of Tryfan. All of us jumped A&E. After heading down the south ridge, the weather came in a little, with fog and drizzle, so we abandoned Bristly ridge, and headed east along the Miner's Track (another one!) above Cwm Gwern y Gof the onto the east ridge of the Glyder range. After getting to the top of Glyder Fach, successfully locating the cantilever, we walked along the range to the base Castell Y Gwynt for some lunch in the sun. With a bit of itchy feet, I scrambled around the Castell when waiting for the others. A nice stroll along the top to Glyder Fawr, getting a few pics of the stegosaurus and the Llanberis valley then heading down the scree to the top of Devils Kitchen. Onne last slog up Y Garn, then down it's NE ridge (where some flags where set up for an upcoming ultra), quick v cold dip in Llyn Clyd to complete the loop in the rByronHaywood01/07/2022

Ascent via North Ridge from A5 at SH 6633 6028,to Tryfan, onto Tryfan Far South Peak then up to Glyder Fach via scree at side of Bristly Ridge, on to Castell Y Gwynt. (Well worth the scramble - this peak is deceptive when approaching from this direction and only looks like a small pile of jagged rock but opens out into the most spectacular climb once you're on it - on to Glyder Fawr and descent via Devil's kitchen and Llyn Idwal. A great, tough day, especially in the heat but a lot of great scrambling.lindslow13/06/2021

Beautiful calm, sunny and warm day with good views. Time 5 hours. Heather terrace rougher than expected. Final ascent to Glyder Fach very eroded. Completed Welsh 3000'ers with my ascent of Castell y Gwynt, which I had missed out on previous visits. Lovely little scramble up a jagged tor.jamessteel10024/02/2019

Sixth summit of the Day on an epic exploration from Capel Curig taking the ridge rising to Gallt Yr Ogof, Y Foel Goch, Tryfan Far South Peak, Tryvan, (then injured left knee by slipping and falling heavily on the rocks) scrambled up Bristly ridge, Glyder Fach and then mist started to sweep across the plateaux but still this is a fantastic peak. GReat pinnacles like something out of the Lord of the Rings. Scrambled up to the highest pinnacle and then descended the ridge of pinnacles, some resembling sharpened pencils stuck together before heading on to Glyder Fawr. This is a place where a compass is indispensable as weather can turn very suddenly. Went on to ascend Glyder Fawr and then Y Garn before climbing back over the ridge to trek across to the Pen Y Gwryd hotel via Moel Berfydd.Dazingdale07/07/2014

Fine and warm up till we went on the miners track and headed to Glyder Fach when the cloud came in and by the time we got to the cantilever it was raining. Went up Glyder Fack in hail which made it slippery. Castell y Gwynt was also tricky in the hail. Kept to the top of the crags looking down to Bochlwyd and Gribin. Wandered on th where nameless Cwm tops out and on to Glyder Fawr. Descent through Devils kitchen to Idwal and back along A5 to the car.axe.stephen24/04/2014

In the early 1990s before I had even heard of Simms I did my own personal challenge of all the 600m peaks in Wales. I have a record of the summits but not the dates so I have selected this arbitrary date within the period for them all. Some I missed but this was one I did.dickscroop01/07/1994

THE SNOWDONIA 7 CHALLENGE, in teams of 4, ours was Darryl Bradshaw, Paul Beard, Dave Osbourne and me. Slogged up onto Glyder Fach, fell running teams already passing us, had been set off at 5 min intervals, there were 50 teams of 4. Started to run flat sections along the top. Y Garn broke Daryl and we all had to slow down. Pushed for time as coming off Elidir Fawr, we had to be at Llanberis checkpoint within a specified time or we would be pulled out. We were 2 mins over but allowed to continue. All wasted now. Up Llanberis path toward Snowdon, managed it by popping nurofens. On to Crib y Ddysgl. Now my right knee was causing serious problems. Managed to get over Snowdon and we all hobbled down to Rhyd-ddu. We were last down but had completed the course as was our objective. 5 teams had pulled out. Hardest mountain trip I had done and I could hardly walk for a week after. Great experience and we were the first Northants team to complete the course ever. Others had failed.Mark T21/08/1989
