Description

Llanuwchllyn > Cwm Fawddwy>Aran Ridge North

Ascended Cwm Llwydd, slept at Creiglyn Dyfi in the lee of a large boulder from the 35mph NW winds circulating the Cwm.

Ascended out of the Cwm and along the ridge line, thick cloud and 25-50m visibility above 700m.

Area : Aran Range

Aran Fawddwy, which is only 9 metres (30 ft) short of being a member of the Welsh 3000s, is the highest peak in the Aran mountain range and the 16th highest summit in Wales. The other two Marilyns in this range are Glasgwm and Esgeiriau Gwynion.[4] It is the highest British mountain south of Snowdon and is the principal summit of the predominant southwest-northeast ridge between Dolgellau and Bala, southern Snowdonia, a ridge that continues westwards as Cadair Idris.
