 SummitPost - Tryfan -- Climbing, Hiking & Mountaineering
This is an exciting approach to Tryfans East Face, consisting of exposed and sustained scrambling on the large, deep, polished holds of a slabby face followed by some varied scrambling up a blunt ridge.
Conveniently, Tryfan is located very close to the A5 meaning that there isn't a long approach to the bottom of the mountain making it probably the most accessible mountain in Snowdonia.
Tryfan can be climbed at anytime of the year via the North or South Ridges, however in poor conditions some routs are best avoided particularily if visability makes route finidng difficult.

 Tryfan The North Ridge walk in Snowdonia National Park, Wales
One of the factors in Tryfans popularity is that it is easily accessible from the main A5 road trunk road which snakes its way through the Ogwen valley on its way to Bangor from Betws-y-Coed.
The mountain is said to be named Tryfan after its three noticeable summits, Try translating to three and Fan a welsh word for a rocky peak or beacon.
This is one of my favorite valleys and the views from the summit of Tryfan are breath taking on a clear day, with the summit being just slightly below the height of its lofty neighbors it is often lucky enough to be just under the height of escaping cloud cover.

 The Sounding Burrows' Lacedaemonian Lakers
Tryfan wasn't lucky on other accounts either: when a door would close, he would get stuck in between, his tail has been slammed between the cardoor, I would throw a ball (oké, I'm a terrible shot, but why him and not the other dogs??) and it would hit him on the face.
Tryfan loved him from the moment he saw him (he was always extremely fond of pups, so the last year of his life was full of joy to him).
Tryfan loved the camera and I have loads of photo's of him (unfortunately I only got my digital one recently, so I have some scanning to do!), he would sit or stand in any position I put him in.

 The WHR Route - the Bryngwyn Branch
The Moel Tryfan area, extending over the ridge into Dyffryn Nantlle (Nantlle Vale) is thought to be the oldest slate quarrying district in North Wales, and was probably the source of the slate used by the Romans in their fort of Segontium (whose remains and museum can be visited in Caernarfon).
This quarry was the home of the reduced height Quarry Hunslets Tryfan and Cadfan, which may have also worked the direct feeder lines to the other quarries between the wars (Moel Tryfan Quarry acquired a Ruston Hornsby loco, now preserved at the Welsh Slate Museum in Llanberis), one reputedly wearing Kathleen's chimney.
The extremity of the Cilgwyn system could be regarded as the south-western extremity of the Bryngwyn network; part is in re-use as the access road to the tip, while a final stretch (right-hand pictures) continues towards the western end of Cilgwyn, which is now in use again for the extraction and crushing of slate waste.

Tryfan is one of the finest mountains in britain and dominates the Ogwen valley.
Apart from the fine mountaineering routes on the east face the most popular means of ascent is the famous North Ridge, a classic grade 1 scramble and a right of passage for any walker wanting to take his first steps in mountaineering.
On my first visit to Tryfan I was found wanting in terms of experience and before the real scrambling began I scurried off with my tale between my legs.

This was not too much of a problem getting up Tryfan: my, but I don't tire of that ascent.

Tryfan didn't mind, he had me to play with and running after Plato in the fields was a lot of fun too.
Fescue copied him, but since she has a lot more spunk that Tryfan (who really was a mellow dog and only fierce when he had to defend me) she wasn't so nice to strangers.
(Tryfan was too ill to do the same) He scrambled over the half door (it's such a gate as people use to keep children away from stairs etc.) and neatly placed my neighbor outside.

 Walks in Snowdonia - Tryfan walk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Tryfan was an inspired choice for our first walk in Snowdonia.
The mountain is one of the most popular in Snowdonia because of its unusual shape.
Some of them were practicing their rock climbing technique on the obelisk that is Tryfan Bach, a towering piece of rock just above the camp site.

Both direct and leftward exits are difficult so, just below the steepening (nut runner), use a crack and large foothold on the right wall to balance across to a blunt spike.
Easy scrambling soon leads to the top of Tryfan Bach with a good view of the approach to Tryfan's East Face.

 Tryfan, May 2000
On the way up we had some differences about the music, and the driver had to risk the lives of his passengers several times by jumping into petrol stations on the way in search of a rock band compilation tape.
Anyway, the mini-bus was parked at the foot of Tryfan, and we took the path leading up to the north edge of the impressive mountain ridge.
A nice feature of Tryfan is that you can take the easy way (hey, what is easy if you are walking uphill) or the hard way.

The climb up Tryfan isn’t as long or as hard as that up Snowdon, but it offered lots of fun.
This route involves a 600m scramble from the road, up the side of the mountain directly to the summit, and then a more sedate return by trail to the nearby car park.
The club group consisted of about 20 people, some of whom were relatively inexperienced so we moved slower than the previous day on Crib Goch.

 Tryfan Guided Walk Snowdonia
The famous north ridge rises from the valley to the twin pillars of Adam and Eve and this is our chosen route.
Tradition says that upon first climbing Tryfan, you must jump from one pillar to the other.Down on the ground, this wouldn't be a problem, but 3000 feet up and the cliffs of the East face next to you, it's a different prospect.
After enjoying the summit views, we'll descend the slightly easier south ridge before descending by either Cwm Tryfan or Cwm Bochlwyd, the choice is ours on the day.
