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.

The official verified line for the Hiraethog Trail 70k. This is a serious endurance challenge that requires good navigation skills on all sections. Our August 2025 team set a new (and first - we think!) FKT for the route in 17 hours and 16 minutes. Challengers to the FKT are welcome!

A stunning start to the trail. Crossing the moorland slopes of Mwdwl Eithin rewards you with some of the best views in Denbighshire. Navigation is straightforward on the tracks, but keep an eye on the map when crossing the open farmland above Cerrigydrudion.
