"This was an incredible day. I had set out to climb Tryfan only, and didn't start until around 13:30. I expected to get another inversion on the summit, however, that didn't materialise. Once down the south ridge of Tryfan, and at the start of Bristly Ridge, I decided to go for it up onto the Glyders with 99% certainty I would get my day 2 inversion!
Unfortunately, my GPS started to play up the minute I entered the thick cloud after dark for the descent. 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
"13/11/2022
Great day out in Snowdonia with Susan. North ridge of Tryfan, Bristly ridge on Glyder Fach and then along the broad ridge to descen via Devil’s Kitchen and Idwal. Will never get tired of this walk/scramble and have done it many times." — johnandsue4fun • Nov 13, 2022
"Climbed from Lake Ogwen up the north face. Pretty hairy. Fair weather to the summit which helped with the tricky scrambling. At the summit the heavens opened. Didn't bag the South Peak as I was with my 16 year old nephew who'd reached his limit (well that's my excuse anyway). Headed south, climbed "Little Tryfan" and then descended to the west past the small lake and to the centre at the end of lake Ogwen. An exhilirating but at times scary climb." — vygodski • Aug 23, 2018
"Part of my 2nd day bagging mountains on my 40 at 40 challenge. Amazing climb, thoroughly enjoyed and topped off by gaining the 'Freedom of Tryfan' by doing the jump between Adam and Eve. Follow my journey www.pushingpeaks.com " — brendans40at40 • Jun 27, 2016
"We climbed Tryfan by accident, after a bit of miscommunication and some dodgy map-reading! It would have been a real shame to miss the epic scramble, so it was a happy accident. We then took in Glyder Fach (with the obligatory cantilever photo), Glyder Fawr and Llyn Idwal. A great day's walking!" — isabellehatfield • Apr 8, 2015
"Not 100% sure of the exact date, but it was whilst I was basic training for the Army. We climbed Tryfan and then onto and over Bristly Ridge to the Glyders. I always remember, climbing bristly, was the first time I ever had that feeling of "Oh my God, I'm falling" my pack was pulling me backwards on the steep scramble up. Tryfan and the Glyders were some of the trickiest scrambles I have done to date. 1 day, I'll return, and do them again." — HikingViking • Apr 17, 1987
"Reunion of those who had attended an Austrian Alpine Club course earlier in the year. Went to Llyn Ogwen and walked up to Heather Terrace on Tryfan. Rock climbing to reach summit. 13 people on six ropes." — peter43 • Sep 29, 1962
"With a party from the CHA Guest House at Llanfairfechan. By coach to west end of Llyn Ogwen. A fine circuit to Tryfan Far South Peak, Tryfan (main summit), Glyder Fach, Castell y Gwynt, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn. Descent via Devil’s Kitchen. On the summit of Tryfan I jumped from Adam to Eve." — peter43 • Sep 8, 1959
