Tryfan North Ridge
Tryfan’s rocky North Ridge is an iconic grade 1 scramble and is one of the most popular routes in the UK.
Tryfan or Tri faen – 3 rocks – stands proud above the Ogwen Valley. At 918m it is one of the fourteen 3,000 ft peaks in Wales.
We will be scrambling up from the valley floor – in the footsteps of mountaineers George Mallory and Sir Edmond Hilary, of Everest fame – to its summit which is crowned by two fabled standing stones, Sion a Sian or Adam and Eve.
We will have an early start to avoid the crowds and enjoy a well earned lunch break high above the Ogwen Valley, returning via the South Summit and Llyn Bochlwyd.
There will be some steep, rocky and exposed sections so a steady head for heights will be required. This scramble is for fit and experienced walkers only
Remember that it will be much colder on the tops, even in May. Please ensure that you have good, warm,
waterproof clothing, including hat and gloves, and suitable sturdy boots (no trainers).
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.
