a mile south-east of the village of Capel Curig - by Pont
Cyfyng, GR 734572 or in a lay-by on the A5, GR 735571. |
| Distance : 6 miles |
Ascent : 2369 ft

Estimated Time : 3 - 5 hours |
|
Route : From the A5, cross Pont
Cyfyng. Ignore the public footpath on the right. Take
the next turning on the right, a tarmac road which climbs
steeply through trees. This road actually goes all the
way to the north-east ridge of Moel Siabod but a diversion
has been created at the first bend to avoid a farmyard.
Having rejoined the road, above the farmyard, turn left
and go through a gate.Further on a second gate is reached.
As you approach the mountain, the ground levels out
and immediately before reaching a third gate leave the
road and cross rough ground on the right to reach a
conspicuous stile over the fence below the mountain
ridge. Follow this long ridge to the summit. The level
summit ridge turns out to be long and rocky. The rocks
can be awkward in places and some may prefer to take
an easier route - though it is much less fun - along
a narrow path through short grass a little below the
rocky ridge on the north side of the mountain. The actual
summit is at the far end of the ridge and is marked
by a triangulation point. There is a stone shelter nearby.
Remember
: Always take a map and compass with you.
Cofiwch :
Ewch â map a chwmpawd hefo chi bob tro.
