    At 2,608 feet (795 m), the summit of Cribyn boasts bold and dramatic views over Pen-y-Fan, looking towards the steep cliff that forms its eastern flank. When the weather is clear, the views to the north are especially impressive too, towards Mynydd Epynt, Brecon and the Cambrian mountains beyond.

      The jagged tooth of Cribyn is the most recognisable hill in the Brecon Beacons. A traverse of Fan Y Big, Cribyn, Pen Y Fan and Corn Du is one of the best hill outings in Wales. It also has a narrow scenic goat track (very safe) along its North face. A pretty lung busting pull to its summit from every direction but well worth it for the surrounding views of the highest peaks in the Brecon Beacons.

        Less busy than the two peaks further West and with a similar view, especially looking north, maybe the nicer option for a break.The path from here over the ridge is great.
