    Tips

    The Daear Ddu Ridge is a great scramble that isn’t as bad as it looks from the bottom. Not all the family were keen when we’d done the first 500 feet (150 m) or so but once we’d explored a bit more, we could all see it was okay.

    You do need to use hands and feet to clamber through all the rocks but exposure is very low and the route is well worn and clear – as well as covered in crampon scratches! Not something to try in poor weather unless you’re confident, probably, but great on a sunny day. The kids loved it!

      If you want a quieter walk with a challenge then this is the mountain for you. I'd also put it out there that is has the best view of Snowdonia.
