"The main goal of this one was to tick off a missed Nuttall from 2 years ago. My acclimatisation to the heat isn't very good, so I was pretty uncomfortable on this one, well, that and the blisters on my feet from previous days. I couldn't seem to get the boots laced in a way that prevented heel lift, and slight friction, despite being the same La Sportiva boot I've had before with no issues. Looks like they need to win a few more battles to get worn in. This one was going to be an out-and-back, until I changed my mind and decided to try to 'loop' down off Gallt yr Wenallt, where the trail essentially ends. I then aimed for the copper mine ruins and descended down through two 'levels' before joining up with the trail that leads back to the waterfalls at the start of the Watkin Path. Care needs to be taken in the copper mine ruins, very loose scree, and a ridiculous deep hole in the ground - you'd never be found if you fall in there after throwing a 'test' rock and waiting for the bottom!" — adventure-stricken • Jul 18, 2026

"2:40:18 to the top. 800m of ascent in total. walking. very windy, cold, ice towards the top, Just about passible, but I should have taken crampons. some people turned back. As I descended I saw a young man on his way up, walking with his hands in his pockets, in an inappropriate light weight jacket, no backpack, on hat, and waring carpet slippers.
