    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.
