The South Ridge of Tryfan

About trip

Tryfan is the closest mountain to the road as you are travelling down the A5 from Capel Curig to Bangor. The name translates to three stones. It also has the reputation of being the only mountain in Wales which cannot be climbed without the use of hands. This in itself explains that it is not an easy mountain, and the route described here is probably the simplest. The route covers rocky ground which may be slippery when wet, thus meaning extra care is needed. Also the description will be fairly vague so you will need to be able to pick your route over rocky ground to the summit.
