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.
Awful weather, clients wanted to learn scrambling ropework. Went up Idwal buttress then across to the abseil on the descent from Idwal Slabs. Fun packed day in atrocious conditions.
