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.
A fair day to begin with taking two others up the North West Face route turned wet and with very strong winds as we reached the top of Maybe Tower Rib. Great scrambling throughout, however the first route was the best.
