Near perfect wintry conditions, first hill of five for the day. Was impressed with the views of the Yr Wyddfa massive and the Nantle ridge, as well as the Moelwyns of course. | simocity | 01/12/2023 |

With my LOST group. Parked in Crimea Pass and tried to follow a Trail Magazine walk, but on the descent it seemed to fall into a chasm, so we had to navigate across the pathless bogland. Most of the walk was pathless. Windy but easy ascent. | gbeniston | 25/09/2023 |

Iwerddon and Allt-Fawr from Crimea Pass with Rufus. Parked just downhill from the summit of the pass towards Blaenau Ffestiniog in the lay-by on the right. Followed the track WSW to the air shaft then more or less made a beeline west to the summit of Iwerddon staying underneath the crags. Followed the ridge SW to pick up sheep tracks that led S to the summit of Allt-Fawr. Retraced steps N for a short time then dropped down steeply E to the S shore of Llyn Iwerddon. Followed sheep tracks vaguely above the L bank of the stream back to the air shaft. Pretty murky morning but had a slight break looking N. | jacobrichmond | 02/02/2023 |

Parked up at the top of the Crimea path, a short walk to the start of the path and went left once over the stile. The path is very straight forward with great views of Blaenau Ffestiniog and the Manod Mawr, Moel Siabod, Snowden, Glyders. | Buckleymon | 23/09/2022 |

Gmac selected a lovely hill and a lovely day. Parked in the lay-by on the Crimea Pass. Walked down to the gate and took the path to the left (west). Follow the path up and climb up linking close yo the fence. Follow fence until slight drop in height and over second stile (Loch below). Keep with the path which eventually meanders up to the top. Excellent views including Snowdon. | elizyanne | 13/07/2022 |
