The narrow ridge of the Bwlch Main (Narrow Pass) is the highlight of the route. Although the ridge is not difficult, it is still exposed with steep slopes on either side. One should be careful when crossing the ridge and stay on the path. In inclement weather, the Bwlch Main can be daunting, especially if you've never climbed an exposed ridge.

Bwlch Main, pronounced ‘bull-ch’ which means pass/gap. A little reminiscent of Striding Edge but much smaller in length. Exposure on both sides and in windy or winter conditions can be a little intimidating to those not used to crossing such places.
