<< None		 
Cwm Glas Ridge >>
[Clogwyn y Person Arete , 2 kb]Approach by walking and scrambling up the path from the open wooden bridge crossing the river by the A4086 about a mile up from Gwastadnant.This is the downstream of two neighbouring bridges.Following the path up into Cwm Glas, past the imposing crag of Cyrn Las with the excellent Main Wall climb brings you up to the right of the arête as seen in the photo. The normal grade two route follows the right wall of the gully on the right hand side of the arête pleasantly and with some interest up to the obvious jammed boulder, which can be seen from afar.From here one can forge ahead straight up until the first barrier.A well worn rightwards traverses lead to suitable weaknesses in the defences. The crux is easy to recognise when you find it - a shallow chimney that seems to offer little for the feet. Jugs above, judicially applied pressure with the possible assistance of a toe jam on the right will overcome this without great difficulty. Above this point, the main difficulties are over, unless you take another traverse to the right and find yourself faced with an awkward mantelshelf onto a restricted platform - easier without a rucksack. Eventually, easy ground leads up to join with the main Crib y Ddysgl ridge, from where a circuit of Cwm Glass is possible to the right or a traverse of Crib Goch and descent of its North Ridge is possible. If the latter is taken, take the scree to the left before reaching the end of the ridge - easily previewed from the Clogwyn Y Person Arête during the ascent on a nice day.This is an excellent route mostly on clean rock, with interesting route finding.

AJH - Lead O/S - 13/Aug/10 with Thomas and Rebecca

A really big feeling scramble- with big holds and big exposure, did it travelling light solo in rock shoes- big boots moving together would be the ideal

Great climb using variety of techniques. Running belays/soloed with some pitches fully belayed. Awful descent in driving rain and dark.

Major epic. Jamie and I took Rodney (68) and Ollie (14) up and after 3 pitches we came to the tricky corner which in big boots and on greasy rock just wouldn't 'go'. We had to lower them of and abseil down in pitch blackness and clag...and then find our way down to the pass which we did at 9.30pm. Awesome day:-)
