Finding your way on the north ridge of Tryfan...

When we run the North Ridge of Tryfan for Mountain Leaders workshop, one of the main takeaways is a tick list of features to help you stay on the best route up the ridge. This route has been refined over several (nay, many!) years of exploration.

These photos give you a sample of those features. It’s not comprehensive, not because I don’t want to share them all with you, but simply because I don’t have pictures of every one. Workshop attendees receive a follow-up email that lists all the features in full and helps consolidate what you learned during the day.

If you’d like to find out more, why not join one of our North Ridge of Tryfan for Mountain Leaders workshops next year?

We recommend starting at Gwern Gof Uchaf and wandering up past Tryfan Bach.
