"OS maps showed a trail starting around 400m up near the start point. Absolutely terrible terrain and turned out really difficult to pick up the trail - basically a sheep track leading up to Carnedd y Filiast North Top. The 1st part of the trail is only really obvious after crossing the waterfall section. The trail then supposedly splits off in two directions - again, using GPS it just wasn't there so I ended up going directly through the waterlogged grass and thick heather. Eventually you come across long, large slabs of rock. Some you can climb up, others were too wet and slippy and required a zigzag approach to get around. In the end it took me 3 hrs to complete the 1st 3 miles - all because I didn't want to start on the other side of the mountains below the dam at Elidir Fawr. I had already done that route before and wanted to avoid the long tarmac road in. Also, I wanted to complete all the remaining Welsh nuttalls near by - so it had to be a loop route which still unfortunately meant around 2miles on the tarmac road at the end.

"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. We continued along the ridge to Y Garn before heading down to the road. 1 day, I'll return, and do them again." — HikingViking • Apr 17, 1987

"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
