    Garnedd Ugain's battered trig pillar stands on Wales' second highest peak behind nearby Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). To the south west, an easy arcing path takes you to Yr Wyddfa's summit. To the east is the exciting Crib y Ddysgl ridge, which leads to the even more thrilling Crib Goch.

      If you have made it to here via the Crib Goch route then you will probably be happy to know that this battered trig marks the end of your scramble route to Snowdon. It is a little quieter here which makes it a good place to stop for a top up of food and water. Before carrying on.
