Y Garn

Peaks: Y Garn
Area: Glyderau, Eryri
Another iconic Welsh peak for EE, whose personal tally is gradually catching up with M and K! After a wet morning, and a nice run through the lanes of Bryn Seiri, it was clearing as we set off for Idwal. Sharp showers seemed likely, however, and one hit as we embarked on the steep steps that start the East (Banana) ridge. I always used to descend this, but have taken recently to go the other way round. It is very steep, but short and sharp. E struggled a little, but generally found it easier than last time. She enjoyed the views from the summit, as cloud dropped then parted - quite atmospheric for the always-superb view over Ogwen. It was a bit cold so we trotted down to Llyn y Cwn for lunch before dropping below Twll Ddu back to Idwal.
