The highly distinctive rocky, ridge-backed mountain of Tryfan is seen from the path coming down from Y Garn on the far side of Cwm Idwal. The north ridge can clearly be seen rising from the A5 on the banks of Llyn Ogwen and is an unrelenting climb to the top. The summit is adorned with a pair of three metre high stone blocks and those who can successfully step from one to the other are said to gain the Freedom of Tryfan. In calm dry weather this is not too hard, but the exposure at three thousand feet high is immense.
