Completed over five days in August 2021, mostly wildcamping with one night in a hostel. Occassionally moderate though not strenuous with no huge elevations. The Mignient Marshes should not be underestimated though, especially if it has been raining. A gem of a hike through the industrial and social history of a much loved area.

Hiked down on 25.06.2025 with my brothers after hiking pyg track up to summit. Weather down was mist and slight rain but still a nice walk. Quite rocky and loose underfoot but a great hike down, few steep bits but easy enough

Fantastic! The best waterfall in Wales. I've been here so many times, and it never fails to delight. Well worth the walk. The path is even pushchair/wheelchair friendly, so I'd say this is an all ability trail. Well worth it for the views of Aber Falls.
Welsh 3000s (Precision Traverse)
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 9 months ago
The definitive Welsh 3000s traverse. This verified route follows the classic line starting at Pen y Pass, tackling the famous Crib Goch ridge first, crossing the rocky Glyderau, and finishing on the remote slopes of the Carneddau above Aber Falls. It’s a massive 50km endurance challenge covering 14 summits. While we often use a Bethesda finish on our guided events for logistics, this GPX represents the 'Gold Standard' traditional route. A true test of mountain fitness.
