スノードニアの天然記念物・トップ20

A wonderful spiky summit with fine views to Yr Wyddfa and into Ogwen Valley. The summit itself is a scramble over very large jumbled boulders.

Lovely views but tricky summit to find boulders everywhere you need to climb up to the summit if wet would be unsafe cantilever stone looks amazing only problem with glyders is very bad on the foot but really enjoyed it I did tryfan north face then down the south side up the loose scree that was some climb and half top of glyders then Down one hell of a loose scree up y garn then down devils kitchen I wouldn't advise going down that if you are not good on your feet it's hell I've done it both ways going up is so much easier going down devils kitchen is really bad

Expect tricky terrain. It's very rocky and uneven with hidden holes.

The Castle of the Winds is a true highlight on this or any other mountain. Spectacular and spiky it makes for a great scramble over the top!

You can't miss these two huge stones right on the summit of Tryfan. Traditionally climbers would jump from one to the other to gain the freedom of the mountain. But be warned people have died in the attempt.

The name "Snowdon" is first recorded in 1095 as Snawdune, and is derived from the Old English elements snaw and dun, meaning "hill of snow". The Welsh name for the mountain, Yr Wyddfa, is first recorded in Latin as Weddua vaur in 1284. This is probably an approximation of Pen y Wyddfa Fawr. The element gwyddfa in this context means "height, promontory", and also occurs in the Welsh name for the town of Mold, Yr Wyddgrug. Gwyddfa later developed the meaning "gravestone heap", and there is a legend that the giant Rhita is buried beneath the cairn on the summit of the mountain. According to one legend, the giant Rhita was slain and buried on the mountain by King Arthur, while another legend suggests that Rhita was killed by the giant Idris who lived on the mountain Cadair Idris. The mountain is also associated with other figures from Arthurian legend, a legendary Afanc (water monster) and the Tylwyth Teg (fairies). (Wikipedia)

Glyder Fach is a 3,261 foot (994 m) 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 Glyder Fawr stands at 3,284 feet (1,001 m). It's a rock-strewn area of large jagged stones in amazing formations. You need to keep your eyes on the ground to run, which is hard with the stunning mountain landscape all around!
