Start:

Ogwen Cottage car park (649604). Overspill parking in laybys to east.

Finish:

Summit of Pen yr Ole Wen.

ROUTE DESCRIPTION

The ascent starts from the Alfred Embleton stile on the A5, on the north side of the bridge over the Afon Ogwen. There are a puzzling few moments at first – getting up or around little crags – but then only the brutal and unremitting grind up a well-worn path to the summit. Not that it is all punishment: there are wonderful views back down to the valley and across to the Glyders, especially breathtaking (if you’ve any left to give) in the evening or when mist fills the cwms.
