Tryfan scramble

Peak: Tryfan
Area: Glyderau, Eryri
A remarkably inaccurate weather forecast saw us arrive in Ogwen in full clag and drizzle which failed to clear. Rich fancied a scramble so we headed up to a moist heather terrace, making gradual progress. He is not able to do much in the hills these days, so slowed down for the walk along the terrace, deciding to forego the summit. So we arranged to meet at Bwlch Tryfan and I headed up the Little/North gully scramble alone. This is always good fun, even in the rain and mist, with its discontinuous scrambling up three chimneys allowing the upper part of North Gully to be gained quickly. From here, a skirting path leads to more scrambling and an emergence between Adam and Eve (if you get it right). I know every inch of this route very well, and made the summit in 15 minutes from the terrace, jogging back down the South Ridge, still in mist, to join Rich at the stile for lunch.
