Cadair Idris or Cader Idris is a mountain in Gwynedd, Wales, which lies at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park near the town of Dolgellau. The peak, which is one of the most popular in Wales for walkers and hikers,[1] is composed largely of Ordovician igneous rocks, with classic glacial erosion features such as cwms, moraines, striated rocks, and roches moutonnées.
What a day to be out. 2 followers. Started up the Minffordd and then around Llyn Cau up the "shoot" on the NW side of the bowl the gain the saddle to the south of the summit. Avoided 60mph winds mostly by doing this, once on the sadle some crawling was done up towards the summit shelter. From here I lead the two east and back down the unrelenting steps to the car park.
