THE GLYDERS

Tackling the awkward start of Cneifion Arête (Route 40)

The Glyders

The finest scrambling in North Wales is to be found in the Glyders, either within rock-walled cwms or along the crests of intervening ridges. Hence the large number of routes described in this section.

The medium is almost always reliable – rotten rock and treacherous vegetation being limited to a small number of notorious cliffs ignored by this guide.

The mountains described in this section – the two Glyders and neighbouring Tryfan, Y Garn, Foel Goch and Carnedd y Filiast – occupy most of the high ground between the Llanberis and Ogwen valleys. In simplified terms the range consists of a string of summits lying parallel to the A5 between Bethesda and Capel Curig.
