Tryfan North Ridge Guided

The North Ridge of Tryfan is one of the great mountain adventures of Eryri and a fantastic introduction to sustained scrambling on one of Wales’ most iconic peaks. Starting from Ogwen Valley, we climb directly towards Tryfan’s unmistakable rocky skyline. As height is gained, normal mountain walking gradually gives way to increasingly rocky terrain and hands-on scrambling. The North Ridge offers numerous route choices, allowing the day to be adapted to the experience and confidence of the group. Along the way we tackle rocky steps, slabs and short scrambling sections before continuing towards the summit of Tryfan at 917m. Reaching the famous Adam and Eve stones marks the summit, with spectacular views across the Glyderau, Carneddau and Ogwen Valley. The descent completes a superb mountain journey and provides further opportunities to develop confidence moving over steep and rocky terrain. Start/Finish: Ogwen Valley Summit: Tryfan – 917m Distance: Approximately 6–8 km depending on route Ascent: Approximately 650–750 m Duration: Approximately 5–7 hours Difficulty: Challenging Scrambling Grade: Grade 1 Terrain: Steep rocky ground, sustained scrambling, exposed sections and mountain paths
