A depression in the ridge sometimes referred to as 'the Big Dipper', Bwlch Maesgwm is the meeting point of a quartet of paths. At 1,532 feet (467 m), it's the ridge's lowest point and therefore the biggest 'dip' encountered on the traverse. If coming up from Llanberis, arrival at the bwlch reveals stirring views towards Moel Hebog.
