From Road parking East of Llyn Ogwen. Up onto Heather Terrace and on to South ridge for ascent to summit of Tryfan. Poor visibility, completely obscured on summit with rain. Slippery up and down. Visited Far South Peak then descended to Llyn Bochlwyd then down to road.Argentum6609/07/2021
Ascent via North Ridge from A5 at SH 6633 6028,to Tryfan, onto Tryfan Far South Peak then up to Glyder Fach via scree at side of Bristly Ridge, on to Castell Y Gwynt. (Well worth the scramble - this peak is deceptive when approaching from this direction and only looks like a small pile of jagged rock but opens out into the most spectacular climb once you're on it - on to Glyder Fawr and descent via Devil's kitchen and Llyn Idwal. A great, tough day, especially in the heat but a lot of great scrambling.lindslow13/06/2021
From layby on the A5. Tryfan, Tryfan far South peak, Glyder Fach, Castell Y Gwynt, Glyder Fawr and Y Garn. Absolutely amazing day!WelshMountainGoat3830/03/2021
Parked on the A5 just west of Tryfan and went as straight up as I could find a path. This created some difficulties as it was raining with patchy low cloud and some of the stones were slippery. I therefore tried a different way down which also failed and I ended up with a difficult, steep, pathless route for much of the way. It took me three hours to walk three miles.clivevilla22/10/2020
From the A5. Bochlwyd horseshoe taking in Tryfan, far south peak, Bristly Ridge, Glyder Fach, Castell Y Gwynt and Glyder Fawr before descending via Y Gribin. Great day in great conditions.alunrees3712/07/2020

A day on Tryfan with Dave (assisted in parts by Luke). Parked on the A5 near Milestone Buttress. Dull cool day, summits intermittently in cloud. Followed North Ridge to summit of Tryfan. Avoided Bristly for easier route to Glyder Fach. Then to Glyder Fawr before descending via Devil's Kitchen and Llyn Idwal.Skip23/05/2016
