Description

Start: North Car Park SH 69800 15272
Distance: 8 miles
Duration: 7 hours
Description: Co-leader and well being support. Very strong winds poor visibility and snow above 600m, up to 20cm on top, plus sheet ice - very difficult conditions. Party needed support. Srambly path up to 811 then top then shelter (40cm of snow accumulated in doorway!!) then direct return missing out 811. Used walls / shelters as staging posts. Was 50/50 if we'd summit or not but took decision as party were responding well we would.

Area : Cadair Idris

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.
