From CP on main road at Pont Cyfyng (12.40). On track to Llyn y foel then rocky Daear Ddu arette. Wild and atmospheric, rocks glazed with ice around top. Snowdon group looking quite white. Back down on main track towards Capel Curig then woods and foot bridge to car (16.40)

The finest way to ascend this hill is via Daear Ddu ridge from Llyn y Foel. A slight dusting of snow on the top and a tad icy on the rocks and clinging to the stone built pillar. Once off the top and on grass it was a smooth return to Capel via Plas Y Brenin path. I have to dedicate this to pillars/hills etc that can be done in winter and within reduced daylight hours. This 6 mile route took approx 4 hours. A good winters day.

Headed up from Dolwyddelan to Llyn Foel tarn then followed path SW around the ridge. Yes there is another way up without having to traverse the ridge, which I have done before but this way is much easier. Still a tiny bit of scrambling at the top but so much easier. Weather was amazing and the views nothing short of spectacular. Can see Snowden and the horse shoe from Pen-y-Pass. Trig is in pretty good order but could do with a bit of repointing so marking it as slightly damaged. Plug missing.

Another of my exciting see nothing off the top excitements however it did clear about 20m from the top. From the car park down the road from the eponymous café (fine chilli after the walk), took the long route past the lakes to approach from the south in site of Dolwyddelan. Quite a stiff wind but still busy with people blocking paths asking passers by how you get up. Splendidly alone on the southern flanks.

Unplanned ascent after the area we planned walking in was hit by heavy rain whilst Snowdonia was clear so we headed west.Parked at the layby at Pont Cyfyng and walked up the miners track scrambling to the top, a wild wind started around 750 metres touching 60 mph at the top.Trig in good condition seems very large perched on the summit rocks above cliffs bit of a broken spectre as well at one point.Continued down over the rocky ridge and boulder fields taking care with all the wet rocks.

Stone pillar, somehow precariously perched on summit rocks. No plug. Public. Access Land. Snowdonia National Park. A real mountain trig on one of Snowdonia's great summits. Surprisingly easy mountain to get up for its height. Best route is to Llyn y Foel & then scramble up the east ridge. Descend the 'pony' path to Plas y Brenin to complete a circle to Capel Curig.

This hill had always looked a long boring whaleback on the way to better things in Snowdonia. In fact it turned out to be a really fine and interesting outing when done from Capel Curig. Also a milestone - my 600th Marilyn.

A great peak with a relativly easy but at the same time demanding scramble up if oyu follow the route described in the Nutall book. Trig foundations erroding.

Followed the Nuttalls route, wet and windy at the top, glad of the large shelter. Trig could do with some TLC.

Wonderful views from the top of here today. The pillar is a homespun one or local stone blocks one or two of which are missing, as is the plug. There is quite a lot of erosion around the base of the pillar, probably caused by climbers! Great spot!

trig perched on summit rocks, stonebuilt, vgc, no cap or plug. Great views. As with most of my visits, was associated with a Paddy Buckley Round, this time supporting Mike Wardle, who completed in 23:02.

Towards the end of a 2-day backpacking trip from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Betws Y Coed with our little dog. A great weekend out for both of us.

Excellent walk up from Capel Curig through the quarries, pity we made it a circular walk and went down a boring track pretty much due north to the foot bridge at Plas y Brenin hostel. Lovely weather though and super views over to Snowdon.

Great walk up via Llyn y Foel. Day started with low cloud, but Snowdon was clear from the summit! I have been hear many time - this is the lastest trip, but Simon's first time up. 872m. Me, Simon.

Camera balanced on a rock for a change! Simon and I at the top. A fabulous day in SNowdonia!

Stone built pillar, no plug, some erosion of the base. Splendid day, with fabulous all round views, including Snowdon horseshoe. Very stiff climb, and then along very difficult rocky ridge

Not changing status as the spider area was under snow. Last of 15 tops in 3 days but only three trigs. Nearly didn't make this either as the sun had melted the ice crust on the top gulleys of Daear Ddu to force a rethink only 50m from the summit. Stunning views with snow all round

Verry wet day. windy too. It was an unexpected delight to find myself on the summit ridge- wasn't expecting THAT! pillar is missing one stone from base corner and the spider is hovering in space, but solid.

Excellent location, views all round esp. to Snowdon. The Trig itself seems quite solid and built of stone. The stone around the Spider seems quite warn (or maybe it was made like this??) and the plug is missing.

Beautiful sunny day, but with a strong westerly gale on the summit. The pillar seemed to be in one piece- complete with flush bracket. Beautiful views in all directions- one of the best views in Snowdonia.

In the late 1990s, we decided to climb Moel Siabod from Pont Cyfyng. I remember going around the East side and across a marshy area to get up to the South side. We then had a great scramble up the ridghe to the summit. Will have to see if I can pin the date down anymore accurately

A superb early morning walk. Started from Pont Cyfyng at 0715 & reached summit by 0835 after steady slog up old mining track & demanding climb up scree-ridden E face. Magnificent panorama from trig as mist and clouds rose slowly away from neighbouring peaks. From here you can see them all! Descent via ridge, which would make an enjoyable route up.

Three days in Snowdonia, not a sight of blue sky at any point. Snowdon, Cader Idris and Moel Siobod all climbed in varying degrees of bloody awful weather.
