Event Description

“I believe that the ascent of mountains forms an essential chapter in the complete duty of man, and that it is wrong to leave any district without setting foot on its highest peak”

Sir Leslie Stephen

To the north of the Snowdon Massif in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park lies another range of equal high quality, The Glyderau offer some of the roughest and most breathtaking scenery in Wales.

Why not let one of our highly qualified instructors guide you across this range taking in the spectacular summit of Tryfan, Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn.

Summits included on this route:
Tryfan917 metres/3010 feet
Glyder Fach994 metres / 3261 feet
Glyder Fawr1001 metres / 3284 feet
Y Garn947 metres / 3107 feet

“Some mountaineers are proud of having done all their climbs without bivouac. How much they have missed ! And the same applies to those who enjoy only rock climbing, or only the ice climbs, only the ridges or faces. We should refuse none of the thousands and one joys that the mountains offer us at every turn. We should brush nothing aside, set no restrictions. We should experience hunger and thirst, be able to go fast, but also to go slowly and to contemplate”

Gaston Rébuffat

From Idwal Cottage a short walk to the east will bring us to the lower slopes of Tryfan from where a wonderful scramble will bring us to the summit of Tryfan.

After a short descent to the south of the summit of Tryfan a short but steep climb will bring us to the summit of Glyder Fach and the main Glyderau ridge.

The ridge continues west to the summit of Glyder Fawr, the highest summit of the day.

From Glyder Fawr the ridge turns to the north west, descending past Llyn y Cwn before the long gentle climb to the summit of Y Garn, the final summit of the day.

Our route of descent is to the east, down to Lyn Idwal and following the good path back to Idwal Cottage.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

We plan to walk whatever the weather, unless it is dangerous to do so.

Mountain weather can be a little unpredictable, but we do keep an eye on the forecasts leading up to walks, should the forecast mean that the walk is not possible then we will contact you as soon as we have the forecast and offer you the following options:
- A more suitable walk on the same date taking into consideration the weather conditions
- A transfer to the same walk on another date
- A full refund
