Llyn y Manod route (FG5)

Follow the green track mentioned in ssss1 until it gets lost in the desolation of the quarry workings separating Manod Mawr from the nameless peak. Carry on E, skirting the N slopes of Manod Mawr, until you can climb up via Llyn Pysgod.

Crimea Pass route (FG6)

Park just below the top of Crimea Pass at 700487. Cross the road, go through a rusty old gate and stride out on 140° for a green track that is clearly seen rambling up the hillside. It narrows after a while but just about manages to keep going, leading round the flank of Moel Farlwyd to Llynnau Barlwyd. So far a very ordinary walk – then in a flash it comes alight as Moel Penamnen’s leonine crest suddenly arcs the skyline ahead, a dashing sight that transforms the view at a step.

It is 1.5 miles to the foot of the nameless peak. Either aim direct for the E shore of Llyn Bowydd across trackless heather, brilliant mosses and spasmodic bog (much frequented by flies in muggy weather), or strike out E of S to pick up a quarry road along the S shores of Llynnau Newydd and Bowydd (ssss1). The final rise presents no problems.
