Tryfan (North Ridge Scramble)

Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 9 months ago

star star star star star

The definitive Grade 1 scrambling line up the North Ridge. This verified route sticks to the crest once above the shoulder for the best rock and avoids the loose paths on the East face that catch many walkers out. A serious route requiring good head for heights and route-finding skills. In wet or windy conditions, the difficulty increases significantly.
