Cwm Dudodyn route (GL28)

Follow ssss1 to Bwlch y Brecan from where a short pull up easy grass, with a path to start you off, puts you on top.

Esgair y Ceunant route (GL29)

Follow ssss1 to the footbridge at 608596 but do not cross it. Instead steer N of E past two ruined barns and climb onto the ridge beside a wall. A blend of fledgling outcrops and rock moderates to grass by which time you should be looking out for a track L, beneath the crest, that sidles across to Bwlch y Brecan as in ssss1.

Cwm Perfedd route (GL30)

No time to limber up today!

Leave the old road near Maes-caradoc at 635627. You are immersed at once in a gruelling uphill slog, keeping near the true L bank of the stream (but not so near as to get embroiled in the cleft). After crossing a wall trend SW into the piercing solitude of Cwm Perfedd, aiming for the head of the grassy tongue barring the way to Cwm Bual. Near the top a grey slaty track appears, all that remains of a packhorse trail that once linked Cwm Perfedd with Cwm Dudodyn. A small pinkish cairn marks the spot where this meets the main ridge path near Bwlch y Brecan. Mynydd Perfedd is then a short distance away R.
