From parking at Llyn Eigiau Reservoir. Tracks to Cedryn, then faint path and fence line to Bwlch y Tri Marchog and summit. A rarely visited summit judging by the lack of wearmarks. Returned via Craig Ffynnon.PGCE26/01/2024

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.jacobrichmond21/02/2023

My 9th Summit of the day (although now its a deleted Nuttal is this an anti-summit?).Approached from Pen yr Helgi du and I climbed both sides of the rocky outcrops to officially bag it. Great views as has been said over the valley. This was the penultimate point, now onwards to Pen Lithig Yr Wrach. My route today was Llanfairfechan, the North wales path, branching off to a track, Carnedd Y ddelw, Drum, Foe-Fras, Carnedd Gwenllian, Foel Groch, Yr Elen, Carnedd Llewellyn, Pen Yr Helgi du.Dazingdale05/07/2014
