[A wonderful winter day on the Daear Ddu Ridge, 2 kb]The route begins by Llyn y Foel to the east of Moel Siabod's summit. The bog by Llyn y Foel can be avoided by walking further up to the back of the cwm and taking a convenient terrace around to the start of the ridge. A path avoids difficulties but a lot of scrambling can be had by seeking out the best rock. The ridge emerges by the trig point.

Nice ridge - have to seek out the scrambling to make it even a Grade 1. Would be ideal for a newcomer to scrambling as can pick and choose rock.
