| A pleasant enough clockwise round of the fells above Aberllefenni made a little more exciting by my having difficulty in finding a clear route into Cwm Ratgoed. | oldbagger27 | 17/06/2023 |
| From SSW along track few hundred metres after Ratgoed Hall turn right across field heading towards ruined slate building. Wooden gate to right of building leads to good path through the trees, up to the fence line kept it to my right and straight up ridge loads of mini zig zags take the pain out of the steepness. Over a bwf onto open hill and pleasant ridge walk. Returned same way. | Rob50 | 09/04/2023 |
| Parked in the small car park by the A470 at Bwlch Oerwddrws (top of pass). First headed east up to bag Dewey Pen Ochr y Bwlch, then on to revisit the Nuttall Pen y Brynfforchog and its north top, which I missed previously. Then back to the pass for plenty of water. Then headed west over Cribin Fawr and on to revisit Craig Portas, along with a first visit to its East Top and Mynydd Dolgoed West Top, before returning to the pass. 16km with 1000m of ascent, taking 6h20m on a cloudless but very hot day, 31oC at the pass in the afternoon! | silveracorn_alan | 11/08/2022 |
| 8/8 Mynydd Ceiswyn, Waun-oer, Cribin Fawr, Craig Portas East Top, Maesglase, Maen Du, Craig Portas West Top, Mynydd Dolgoed. Fantastic Route from the Ratgoed Valley with nice walk out at the end. Hot day indeed | nickywood1 | 13/07/2022 |
| From the SSW up track but, as there were some inviting forest tracks that looked like they were going in the right direction, I was tempted which was a big mistake and I ended up fighting through forest to get on to the open hillside. It took 2 hours and 4.5 miles just to reach the summit. Coming down I went down the ridge. There is a small steep bit just before the track along the bottom is reached but it is much better than the way I ascended. | clivevilla | 29/08/2019 |
| Quick detour from Craig Portas - rain has started! | DanMaisieBex | 03/08/2019 |

| 12 Mile walk from top of pass, followed good path onto Cribin Fawr and its unmarked summit, then down and steeply up onto Waun-Oer and its trig, back onto Cribin Fawr, down fenceline and along hillside path to Mynydd Dolgoeds featureless summit, then nice ridge walk onto another two featureless summits, Craig Portas and its East Top, then onto the big bulk of Maesglase to its cairned top, we then walked back to Cribin Fawr and down to the pass, after a break, steeply ascended Pen Ochr Y Bwlch and its unmarked top, then up onto Pen Y Brynfforchog where we tried to rebuild the fallen down pile of stones on top, returned to the pass, mostly sunny with the odd cloud banks touching the surrounding summits | DanTrig | 06/07/2016 |
| From Cribin Fawr on backpack. Easy path cuts under Craig Portas, probably the Nuttall return route for the full round. Old post line and Bilberry on top. | mick | 05/05/2016 |
| 2153 3443 and 7572. From the car park on the A470. Took the footpath heading SE. From about 100m to 4 or 5 hundred metres it is quite narrow and a bit awkward to follow then it widens out. Then fence to pass near Cribin Fawr. Then cut across towards the summits. | destaylor | 02/07/2015 |
| The last (and driest) bump of the day on a Cwm Ratgoed circuit using the Aberllefenni bus service. Good place for a late lunch with a last view of foggy Cadair Idris. The descent from the ridge was very steep, the footpath above Ratgoed Hall a slipperly mess of loose shale. Glad to get to firm ground. | thesweetcheat | 09/05/2015 |
