The main line of attack is now established, and you have only to follow the scratch marks on the rocks and their rounded polished edges to stay on course. A short scramble leads to a tilted shelf distinguished by outcrops of dazzling white quartz. Over to the R is the famous Cannon Rock (easily spotted from the road) with Y Garn and Foel Goch gloriously portrayed beyond. The track meanwhile meanders over heathery, boulder-studded slopes to another shelf where Llyn Bochlwyd comes into sight for the first time and a soaring wall of gigantic boulders bars the way ahead. They may look formidable but experienced scramblers should have no trouble in shinning straight up, provided there is no snow about (ssss1).

For something less taxing follow a cairned trail that twists round to the E. and descends briefly before regaining its composure to cross a gully. Leave it here and climb the gully R with a spell of easy foot and hand work. The top of the gully is the ‘notch’, just N of the N top, which is clearly visible from the road below and is where clambering directly up the rock wall would have brought you to.
