63 miles, 26,700 feet
Although the route is a bit easier than the Paddy Buckley Round, it includes the dramatic North Ridge of Crib
Goch and the pinnacles, as well as the fine summit of Mynedd Mawr. I
opted for the North Ridge of Tryfan as this is one of the finest ridges
in Wales. There's less 'bump bagging' but it does miss out the
Moelwyns, Yr Aran and the Moel Elio ridge. I completed the round solo
on my third attempt (having tried two significantly longer versions) and finished in very dramatic circumstances with an electric storm in
the dark over the Crib Goch pinnacles. Its a fine route.
