An evening Tryfan summit walk with the dog.
There was still significant snow and ice above 600m; fortunately, the ice was water ice stuck to the rock, covered with a consolidating but yielding layer of snow, which was easy to walk on. I would normally have avoided this, but Nanw was determined to push on, and wouldn`t come back!
For final ascent, I found a good grassy ramp between middle and south buttresses above the eastern high path, instead of going around the back of south buttress at the top, or around the north of middle buttress (my usual finish approaches).

Glyderau
The Glyderau (a Welsh plural form, also known in English as the Glyders) are a mountain group in Snowdonia, North Wales. The name derives from the highest peaks in the range, Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach. According to Sir Ifor Williams, the word "Glyder" derives from the Welsh word "Cludair", meaning a heap of stones.
