| Big day, scrambled up Senior's Gully and then linked with Cneifion Arete, continued on up the last section of Y Gribin and then descended via the Devil's Kitchen footpath. Everything beyond Senior's Gully was done in the cloud, making route finding challenging. With Dad and Jennifer. | AJScourfield | 01/07/2024 |

| Today, I joined Karen Webber, Richard Moore and Jason Fulton for the three Furths on the Glyders circuit. Parking at Llyn Ogwen, we ascended Tryfan (917m), one of the more iconic hills in Wales. Richard and Jason tackled the Canon Stone for a cool picture. The ascent of Tryfan was almost continual scrambling, which was quite draining, but once I ontop Richard bravely (stupidly....) jumped between Adam and Eve, the two stone boulders making the summit. I chose to stand next to Adam, the highest point. The descent off Tryfan wasn't fun and the easiest ascent up Glyder Fach (994m), took us up a scree path, rather than Bristly Ridge (I couldn't handle more scrambing). Walking over to Glyder Fawr (1000m) for the final hill of the day, then descended down into Cwm Iwdal, then back to the car, 8:30hrs all in. This is the final day of the OMC trip to Snowdonia, I bagged seven Furths, with only three of the fifteen Welsh Furths now remaining. | chillyman8 | 23/09/2023 |

| 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 r | ByronHaywood | 01/07/2022 |
