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.
Shorter day after the long day previously. Parked at eastern end of Llyn Ogwen and climbed the Northern face of Tryfan. Descended down to and then climbed up to Glyder Fach (not by Bristly Ridge though!). Descended down to the ridge to the east of Glyder Fach and returned to the road via the valley (Cwm Tryfan) . Good weather and clear visibility from top of Tryfan.
