Clogwyn y Ddysgl Tutte Arrampicata trad 1 via in area

This amazing route is a must for the avid mountaineer and is one of the finest grade 3 scrambles in Snowdonia. In combination with reversing Crib Goch and the North Ridge of Crib Goch it is even better. It is sustained and exposed and will challenge your route finding skills.

1. Ascend the gully to gain some ledges on the right wall. Climb past one tricky step, past a wide crack to reach an exposed ledge below a narrow groove. Go up this on jugs to the grassy ledge and move left to below another rock step.

2. Go directly up to reach a much larger grassy ledge. Carry on straight up almost on the crest of the nose to reach another more rocky ledge below an impasse.

3. Traverse right around the ridge to reach a gully some 10m to the right. The top of this gully leads to another impasse which is passed on the right via a technically demanding groove.

4. At the top of the groove, the ridge eases off. Make your way through a jumble of boulders, spikes and craglets to reach another easing in angle below one last short step in a tight V- groove. This is climbed just to the right via a crack on the right wall.

5. From here the rest is steady and you can stick as close to the crest as you wish. After 300m you reach the junction with Crib Goch and Crib y Ddysgl, just above the knife-edge section on Crib y Ddysgl, at a large round cairn. Descent - The easiest descent is to turn left and head to Bwlch Coch and head down the gully back into Cwm Uchaf back to the start of the route. However, you can also head over Crib Goch and down the North Ridge of Crib Goch to achieve an amazing horseshoe. Finally you can turn right and head over Garnedd Ugain and on to Snowdon's summit or down the Gryn Las Ridge.
