	Elidir Fawr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elidir Fawr is a mountain in Snowdonia, north Wales, the northernmost in the Glyderau.
		To the north of the summit is a small lake, Marchlyn Mawr, which is the upper reservoir for a pump-storage power station hidden innside the mountain itself.
		From the north, Elidir Fawr is very prominent, and can appear to be higher than the higher mountains behind it.

	Elidir Fawr from Nant Peris
		This does however have the disadvantage of a slog up Elidir Fawr to begin with.
		There are good views along from Elidir Fawr, both to the Snowdon range and also down to Marchlyn Mawr the upper lake in the "Electric Mountain" scheme (described in route 2).

	North Wales - Glyder Fawr (Glyderau)
		Glyder Fawr is a monster: huge, brooding, and with a complex array of hanging valleys, faces, and ridges.
		Although Glyder Fawr cannot quite match its neighbour Glyder Fach in terms of sheer quality of walking, many classic climbs and scrambles run up and down its faces.
		Glyder Fawr looks great on the map and from the valley, but to make the most of this mountain you really have to be a climber.

		My first attempt was in June 2000 when I had to call it a day after descending Elidir Fawr, it being around 30C in the mid-afternoon.
		Y Garn and Elidir Fawr summits where quickly achieved fortunately, and I arrived back to civilization (Nant Peris) around 10am.
		On the way I chatted to a walker coming up Elidir Fawr who was vaguely curious that I'd been up so early.

	[No title]
		Elidir Fawr is one of the 14 peaks over 3,000 ft. that we have in Snowdonia.
		Elidir is formed of ancient Cambrian rocks - which were once the sands and shales of a sea bed.
		Man has long used these ancient shales for roofing slate but the heyday of the industry was in the 19th century.

	Ridges Of Snowdonia - Cicerone
		Elidir Fawr seems quite close in this light: a shapely head held slightly aloof by its slender grass neck.
		But be warned: this being the lowest col on the ridge, and with the long ascent to Glyder Fawr ahead, the threat to morale is enormous.
		Ordinary people are seen to assume the hunted crouch of shot hyena (not the laughing kind) as they jerk and slither through the long, hot afternoon.

		The top of Elidir Fawr (924m) was covered in snow up to a foot deep in places while protruding boulders had spectacular wind blown ice feathers forming radiating patterns.
		The ascent up to Glyder Fawr (999m) was steep and slow as the snow had a bulletproof surface making traction difficult.
		Before we knew it we were at the top and descending to a Col before heading up Glyder Fach (994m).

	Carnedd Elidir
		From the large Nant Peris car park we set off to Cwm Dudodyn and up the long slopes to Elidir Fawr at 924 metres.
		However, there were plenty of other ups and downs on this route as there followed a steep descent then re-ascent to the flat summit of Cribin Fawr.
		From here the route continued to Craig Portas where the temptation to laze in the grass proved too persuasive for some of the group, while the rest made the detour along a very fine ridge to Maesglase 674 metres.

	Snowdonia Eryri Walking - WALKERYRI.ORG.UK
		I decided to minimise effort (lazy) i would climb Elidir Fawr from below the Reservoir, meaning i could start the walk at about 370m, and my knees would be grateful for that.
		Over Elidir Fawr and back to Deiniolen, or down via Cwm Dudodyn to Nant Peris.
		However, when I reached the start of the Nant Peris path, it was hoplessly steep and eroded, so the summit of Elidir Fawr was to be tackled, with hope that the daylight would be sufficient.

		In the morning the level of the water is low, but by the end of the day the level of the water has risen after a day of producing electricity.

		We raced over Crib y Ddysgl and Crib Goch, but it was 07:40 by the time we arrived in Nant Peris, so we were already running 40 minutes late at this point.
		I felt absolutely fine on Elidir Fawr, and talked a dehydrated Chris into rehydrating and continuing.
		Everything changed so rapidly, I still felt ok on Y Garn, but had only 1 litre of water remaining to Ogwen, and rationed accordingly.
