Without a group in tow, I made a quick trip up and over Tryfan this morning. It's so conveniently close to the road and such a great scramble, that it can be done as a 'quick hit' from The Cottage and still leave plenty of the day left to get on with less exciting admin stuff. As far as Grade 1 Scrambles go, it's certainly one of the best around and satisfyingly continuous.
We tried to pick out the most challenging lines we could find by staying high on the crest of the north ridge. This meant that as well as getting all the best scrambling, you're also so absorbed in what you are doing, you don't notice how high you're getting so quickly.
I always love the funky 'bubbled' rocks near the top.
The mist swirled in as we had a quick summit snack. Without any wind, it was rather eerily calm. After an obligatory jump between the summit rocks (Adam and Eve), we descended into the murk.
An hour later, we were back in The Cottage for a well earned lunch. What a place to live!
