Exploring a less visited part of the Carneddau following a varied route over a series of small peaks with superb views of familiar western hills. In brief the route ascends to Crimpiau, Craig Wen & on to the summit of Creigiau Gleision from there it descends to Lyn Cowlyd Dam & begins to return via Pen y Graig Gron to the Crafnant valley back to Capel Curig.

The terrain is a mix of paths, some indistinct, moorland, bog, forestry tracks, heather & rough bumpy grass. (Maps OL17)
