It has everything you need for a good walk and wonderful views across to Tryfan.Thanks for the reflection photo - beautiful.Hope to revisit Wales in the autumn and maybe a quick climb will be on the cards.

garyhortop wrote:Great Report JK and some absolutely stunning photo's!! Also brought back some very fond memories for me as the Idwal slabs was the second climb I ever did as a naive teenager (so - many moons ago!) experiencing my first real mountains in the UK (the first climb was Boch Clwyd Buttress) with my brother and brother in law - Well worth a second visit and reminds me that I really need to get my behind back up there!!

Spent a day down there in May during an Alpine preparation course with PyB in cracking weather and it was perhaps one of the best places i've seen anywhere. We started on the same route as you but went up a long grassy gully and came out just below the Cniefion Arete and then back along, did some abseiling and down climbing practice, then some moving together roped up and another hairy abseil off the climbing routes and back down to the path and out to the car park. Great day out that was !Equal to anything Scotland has to offer in summer !
Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.
