Y Garn

Fisherman’s Path (GL19)

The approach is similar to ssss1 except that this time you aim for the stony path above the true R bank of the stream that comes cascading down from unseen Llyn Clyd like a silver thread. However, the two routes could scarcely be more different in character. Where the ridge is breezy and open, this is intimate and secluded with no inkling until the very end of the hanging cwm and its twin delights – Llyn Clyd, where you can laze in the sun on heather-clad slabs, and its reedy acolyte nearby. Continuing N from the tarns gives you the NE ridge to finish as in ssss1.

Devil’s Kitchen/Cwm Las routes (GL20/21)

Take either ssss1 or ssss1 to Llyn y Cwn. Thereafter a massively wide path plods inexorably up the dull, stony slope to the edge at 634594 where the monotony is relieved for the final 400ft by views of Llyn Idwal and beyond. It is much better, however, to avoid the path altogether and hug the edge right from the start. (For the record ssss1 is via the Devil’s Kitchen, ssss1 via Cwm Las.)
