    Tips

    October 4, 2023

    Glyder Fach is a 994-metre mountain in the Glyderau Range, and one of the Welsh 3000s.

    The summit is relatively broad and open, without an overly prominent rise. The summit ridge, however, is an austere and almost Tolkienesque area.

    Jagged boulders litter the summit, creating unusual rocky formations, notably Y Gwyliwr, or the Cantilever Stone - a precariously balanced rocky diving board.

    The views from the summit are arguable some of the best the country can provide, with views of the Menai Strait and North Wales Coastlines, the Snowdon Massif and the Ogwen Valley.

      The summit of Gyder Fach is a substantial tangle of very large boulders, and so it is a bit of a scramble to get to the very top - but it is worth it.
