Tryfan North Ridge

The north ridge of Tryfan is one of our best known and most loved mountain routes and whichever way you choose to go up you’ll scramble tryfan need to use your hands to reach the top.
That’s scrambling and it marks the line between hiking and mountaineering. This grade one scramble is a great way to step up from your typical hill-walking day but without the need for ropes and other technical equipment.
With scrambling there’ll often be more exposure and things can go wrong easily by going off-route and entering real climbing territory but that’s where MountainXperience come in. We’ll guide you safely on a day out you won’t forget picking the best route to the top for your ability.
Traverse the Glyderau
Age Appropriate
- Adults
Location
- Outdoor
The Glyderau mountain group take their name from the Welsh word ‘cludair’ meaning a heap of stones and that sums up their landscape pretty accurately. Join MountainXperience as we traverse the eastern side of this popular range.
The walk starts from the Ogwen Centre in the heart of the Ogwen Valley and takes a gentle route up to Bwlch Tryfan with an optional ascent to Tryfan’s summit via its easier south ridge. We then head over on to the Glyders themselves where we’ll stop at the precariously balanced Y Gwyliwr before reaching the summit of Glyder Fach at 994m (3,261ft) then on to its bigger neighbour Glyder Mawr at 1,001m (3,284ft). We continue across the rocky terrain before descending into the Devil’s Kitchen, around Llyn Idwal and back to the Ogwen Centre.
