Description

Early section along stream is fun, possibly stay higher to limit exposure. To waterfall would make good walk for kids. Beyond gate no path, and a bit relentless till viewpoint, then quad bike path to near summit with good views to snowdon. Found path that limits need to scramble over rocks but unavoidable in last stretch. Beyond summit clear paths, with some semi scrambling, excellent views Worth going to third summit for view Descent mostly easy with some bum sliding. Lost path a bit above slate mine, possibly better to descend through mine.
