Y Garn from Tryfan

Y Garn in Snowdonia is seen from the unrelenting climb up the North ridge of Tryfan during my climb in 2019. Almost all mountains in Britain have a gentle slope that even mere mortals such as us can walk up and don't require rock climbing skills. However, there are exceptions and in Snowdonia that is Tryfan, a rocky mountain whose sides are tough and steep requiring a rock climb in almost every direction. The exception, over the ridge, still requires a tough scramble that is as much an exercise in route selection as rock climbing.
