Hiking

This gulley is a tough little steep climb, but it is nice and interesting. You can avoid it by coming up or going down a little bit further south, closer to Twyn Mwyalchod.

It is a rocky gulley, so you will need three points of contact at times.

The easier path going towards Pen y Fan over the ridge is definitely worth the ascent as are the views.
