The Iconic Tryfan via the North Ridge

Service Description

No walk in the Ogwen Valley can compare to ascending this majestic mountain via the North Ridge. Whilst it does involve scrambling and a head for heights, it is within the reach of most experienced hill walkers. Starting from the A5 we start Tryfan alongside Milestone Buttress, a popular rock face for climbers. We then continue up to the beginning of North Ridge. Most of the time we will be on the crest of the ridge as we pass The Cannon, here it is worth pausing to catch our breath and take in the increasingly spectacular views down the Owgen Valley. Having refuelled we continue up the ridge and onto the summit of Tryfan 915m (302ft) where Adam and Eve wait for us; two flat topped pinnacles which look across the stunning views which can reach the Irish Sea on a clear day. After a break we continue our walk down the easier south ridge before making our way onto Heather Terrace, a path that takes us underneath the imposing west face of Tryfan before leading us to the bottom of the North Ridge. From here we retrace our steps back down to the A5 and the waiting cars, glowing from the felling of doing one of Snowdonia’s most impressive peaks. The distance approximately 6 kilometres/4 miles, with a height gain of 614 metres/2010 feet.
