From the A5 take a path around the nose of Milestone Buttress to join Heather Terrace on the East side of Tryfan. Follow Heather terrace to emerge at a bwlch between Tryfan's North and South Peaks. Turn right to take on the North, and highest, peak first then retrace your steps and climb the opposite side to reach the South Peak. From the South Peak descend to Bwlch Tryfan, then move left, over the wall, to start the arduous ascent of the scree slopes on the west side of Glyder Fach. On reaching the summit plateau the impressive Castell Y Gwynt and Cantilever are immediately obvious detours. |
