Description

A good day starting up the Y Gribin ridge, then ticking off the Glyders, then dropping down (North) onto the miners track to take me back to Gwern Gof Uchaf campsite.
Whilst in the Cwm I met numerous groups with little or no knowledge of the area trying to ascend Tryfan with little or no equipment. I had chats with all of them to give them some idea as to their goals to help them understand their undertaking.
Stopped at Tryfan Bach to watch the climbers as this day had originally been planned to climb this and be my first multi-pitch routes.

Area : 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.
