Sunday 26th February - Seniors Ridge, Glyder Fawr, Devils Kitchen




View from top of Seniors Ridge


Cneifion Arête, 2 small figures of climbers at the top

Snowdon from Glyder Fawr
Getting towards March now and with the temperatures this past week creeping up towards 17 degrees!!  I guess that’s the last of the snow for now.
Can’t believe the difference between this Sunday & the previous, no wander nature is confused.
Up the waterfall towards Bochlwyd and along the western shoulder of Y Gribin, The Cneifion Arête was getting a few visitors.
The cloud rolled over Bwlch-y-Ddwy-Glyder and spilled into Cwm Bochlwyd. Held back by the Snowdon range, it was levelling out around the 1000m contour, leaving the summits protruding. The hanging valley of Nameless Cwm is an awesome little spot, physically separated from the usual mountain traffic. We sat for a while and watched the climbers progress up the arête and then cut across the higher balcony to join the ridge.
