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.
7. Led Clive from Ogwen Cottage up Y Garn, over Glyders. Route down to Bwlch Tryfan looked too slippery, so we chose to divert over the top of Braich y Ddeugwm. Arrived back just after dark. Conditions: Frosty rather than icy; clear skies, low winds. Visual Navigation
