With winter looking like finally starting - hurrah! a quick report on conditions in the Carneddau from Thurs 23rd for those who can get out in the next few days.

Light snow/ice covering above 800m, with hard wind packed snow/hoar frost on the summit plateau. The high cwm ( the highest in Wales ?)FFynnon LLyffant below Carnedd Llewllyn was holding a reasonable amount of snow and the Grade I routes looked complete ( and will give a decent remote mountaineering day out with the new snow now falling) - beyond the top cornices there was nothing in the Pen Ole Wyn gullies and the black ladders were black and lean.

In the spirit of the 'one stop shop', it's probably more helpful to add that info' here
