Friday 15th May, 2026 – 08.15 a.m.
Scramble
This an exhilarating grade 1 scramble in the Glyderau. We set off from Ogwen Cottage and head up to Llyn Idwal. From there we make our way up Senior’s Gully and Senior’s Ridge. Once the ridge is cleared we summit Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach, taking in Castell Y Gwynt and the iconic Cantilever Stone — a must for those brave enough to capture a truly memorable photo.
We then descend down through Bwlch Tryfan past lonely Llyn Bochlwyd and back to Ogwen Cottage.
If there is poor weather Devil’s Kitchen and Y Garn is the back-up plan
