| From Siabod in ridiculously high crosswinds. A very easy walk between the two peaks taking in the minor top too. Cloud down to about 880m robbed us of the view of the Snowdon group. Back out along very wet paths back to Dolwyddelan- which felt a long way in new boots. With DB | stig_nest | 09/10/2022 |

| Start ~ Pen y Gwryd Hotel. Cloudy afternoon with some sun, the previous heavy rain made the hill a vertical bog though, no other ascents logged this year and i can see why! Summit and views were good. Best ascended from the lakes below. With Wombourne. | steve hudson | 20/06/2018 |

| Dolwyddelan- Daear Ddu- Moel Siabod then down its W ridge, up the N side of this considerable lump! This made a satisfying and interesting high level walk. Returned to Dolwyddelan via Bwlch y Rhediad. Cloud inversion to SW. Still, cold air confounded a buzzard's attempt to find any thermals. First ascent was on way to Moel Meirch, 15/1/2000, on an even colder day. | pwheeler | 18/02/2001 |
