I had intended to descend via Y Gribin, but with the GPS playing up and never doing that route before I decided to take the same way back down. Descending down Glyder Fach 'blind', I did relatively well but had gone off to the right too much towards Snowdon. Luckily the GPS sorted itself out after multiple reboots, and I hit the trail down towards the south ridge of Tryfan. The GPS then played up again, and I missed my right turn towards the car park near the north face of Tryfan. I was half way to Ogwen Cottage area when I realised what had happened, and had to slog my tired body back up the A5 :-)
In hindsight, I should have gone back to Glyder Fawr and descended via Devils Kitchen, which I'm fully familiar with, but I..." — adventure-stricken • Oct 16, 2025
