The Daear Ddu ridge in full view and a completely frozen Llyn y Foel to the left
The Daear Ddu ridge or the scree slope below. The ridge would be much safer today, i thought.
No real defined route here
It was that cold!
I've got issues with wearing hats. Once on the summit the hair on my head was in frozen lumps.
Mostly this ridge was easy to navigate. I think we only had one back-track.
This snap looks set up but it they really were standing that way. Alan looks fierce!
Summit trig in sight. It looks like the marshmallow man has exploded. (Ghostbusters duh!)
From the top
Paul near the summit with the Snowdon range in the distance.

Cold and Deep. Just the way we like it.
