Description

ALTITUDE 3,010FT.

The great rock peak south of the A5 with two main climbing crags; the East Face and the Milestone Buttress. The routes on the East Face can be finished with a scramble to the summit, there you'll have to jump the gap between the two monolithic summit boulders, Adam and Eve - particularly scary if at all wet and slippery.

Getting There

South of the A5, from Capel Curig to Bethesda - south side, the obvious three pronged (Tryfan means "Three Peaks" in Welsh) rock peak.
