    Tips

    October 12, 2023

    The Llech Ddu Spur makes for a magnificent grade one scramble at the head of the wonderfully serene Cwm Pen-llafar. Also known as Crib Lem, the ridge is hugely atmospheric and gives great entertainment, as it leads up onto Carnedd Dafydd's upper slopes.

    Its base appears impregnable, a huge and intimidating buttress that rises from the head of the cwm. However, a path skirts the difficulties to the right, ascending a steep scree slope and eventually joining the ridge by a conspicuous quartz band. The main arête is fantastic, with the highlight arguably being a sloping rock formation in the shape of a Christmas tree when viewed from above.
