Tips

Of all of the great peaks of the Glyderau, Carnedd y Filiast is the one that is often overlooked. Its position at the north western end of the chain, away from the popular hotspots, means it is far less visited than Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr, Tryfan and Y Garn.

However, the view from its boulder-crowned summit is undoubtedly special. Arrayed before you are the broad Carneddau, the full spine of the Glyderau and the shapely majesty of the Snowdon group. The view is just as impressive in the other direction, with the Isle of Anglesey, the Lleyn Peninsula and even the Isle of Man visible on a clear day.

Carnedd y Filiast is a mountain in Snowdonia, Wales, forming part of the Glyderau. It, along with its top Y Fronllwyd (721 m), forms the most northerly summit in the Glyderau. The average annual temperature on Carnedd y Filiast is estimated to be around 4 Celsius. The summit is very rocky and has a number of cairns, as it has a vast expanse of layered slab of its crag features, giving rise to some exceptionally long, easy mountain routes, some giving over 1,000 feet of continuous climbing. Many routes are notable for their almost complete lack of protection and total isolation, and the summit affords good views of Anglesey, Snowdon, Carneddau, the Glyderau, Tryfan, Foel Goch, Y Garn and Elidir Fawr, along with Marchlyn Mawr reservoir. The Isle of Man and the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland can be seen on exceptionally clear days. It is about the 25th highest peak in Snowdonia. It is a UK listed Nuttall.
