Now for the good news – at least for experienced hill-walkers. As you cross the grassy saddle look out for a faint path that breaks away to skirt the edge R, high above Bochlwyd. Stay with this until it embeds itself in the rock face at about 662594, then scramble up boulders W (ssss1). A scattering of cairns looks reassuring, but there is no established path. It is very much a matter of trial and error in a setting of heathery thickets, fresh rock-bound pools and little rock walls reminiscent of the N ridge at its best (with the added zest that comes from novelty and isolation). Trend L and you should come close to a bull’s-eye on Adam and Eve; stray too far R and you will probably join one of the S ridge paths.

You can also reach the grassy saddle from Bochlwyd by following ssss1 until you can exploit a gap in the crags (ssss1).

This lonely cwm has the freshness and serenity Tryfan is so often denied.
