\"\"<\/a>GW\/NW-006, Tryfan \u2013 918m, 8 Points<\/h3>\n

Day two of our Snowdonia excursion.\u00a0 The plan was to climb Tryfan then on up Bristly Ridge onto the Glyders to bag Glyder Fawr and possibly on also to\u00a0Y Garn before descending back down via the Devils Kitchen.\u00a0 A classic Glyders circuit.\u00a0\u00a0Unfortunately the weather was against us so we only managed to complete Tryfan, details below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Still wet from the previous day we set off from the car park at Llyn Ogwen up the classic north face route.\u00a0 It was pretty much as expected, another new variation although there were a few bits I recognised.\u00a0 We found the Cannon Stone but it was too windy to climb aboard.\u00a0 From the Cannon Stone we missed the main route up and ended up climbing the chimney under the chock stone which is always good fun.\u00a0 We reached the top and felt the full fury of the wind.\u00a0 At times the gusts were strong enough to knock me over so we went for a rapid activation from the whip antenna.\u00a0 Fortunately we soon made the required four contacts and were able to get off the summit in a controlled manner rather than being blown off.\u00a0 Needless to say we didn\u2019t try the leap of faith, I think if we had we would have landed some distance below on a gust of wind.\u00a0 Maybe next time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once off the summit we reviewed the situation and in light of the forecast for the winds to increase significantly over the next few hours we decided against attempting the grade one scramble up Bristly Ridge, instead we turned east to take the low route back up to the road and an early finish.<\/p>\n
