Area: Glyderau, Eryri
Morgan's first time on Tryfan, taking me by surprise with the request. I first did the North Ridge just after my 18th birthday but never expected to be taking him up this year - lovely to be able to introduce him to another iconic Welsh mountain. He struggled for a little while on the lower section, with his heavy cold not helping with the steepness. We took a fairly direct line up three grooves towards the cannon, then avoided the North Tower on the right and climbing up into the mist. This was a shame, as we had no view and the forecast had been very promising. After a summit snack, we descended more or less direct to Bochlwyd, which I find far more comfortable than the route down to Bwlch Tryfan. Inevitably, the weather then cleared as we descended to Ogwen.
