🏴TRYFAN North Ridge Scramble and Wales Wild Camping at Over 3000ft
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Wales mountain wild camp at over 3000ft. I met up with @AndrewBeavers and Scott (aka @itsmescottp in the Ogwen Valley for a night on the Glyders. After the ascent of Tryfan via the north ridge we dropped down to Bristly Ridge. Unfortunately we decided, due the the 35mph winds, not to risk this route and headed onto the Glyders via the bypass pass on the eastern side of the ridge.
We found a pitching spot at 3100ft near Castell y Gwynt with views towards the Snowdon range. I was in my MLD Duomid, Andy in his Terra Nova Voyager, and Scott in his Durston Gear X-Mid. Our return route the following morning was via Y Gribin Ridge and back to the Ogwen Valley.
Always a pleasure spending time with these guys.
An 8 mile (12.8km) walk with 3500ft (1066m) of ascent.
Drone used in this video was the DJI Mini 3.
Many thanks for watching - Dave

Hey Dave I loved that video. Great views but some sketchy areas to walk on like that ridge but I bet it was some great fun. There is nothing that compares to the mountains. Thank you for letting me come along again. I'm looking forward to seeing more places. Be safe my friend.
Dwayne
Nice one Dwayne. You’re very welcome 🙏🏻
Looks a stunning part of the country like the Lake District on steroids 👍👍
Yeah, it’s pretty amazing 😎👍
Most beautiful again....great vid
Big thanks David 🙏🏻
Found it! Nice to see the route with a bit more visibility. Looks like the weather conditions coming up were flipped. Not great on the hike but great at camp 👍. Great video!
Thanks, man 👍
EPIC 👌⛰️👊
Ace Dave!👍🏻 it’s like Jurassic world up on the Glyders init👌🏻.. my No2 best hike of all time although I went the opposite way to you buddy,absolutely amazing place!
Loved this footage & the Audio with the drone around the Arête was mint👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Cheers buddy
Cheers J. Yeah, it really is something else up there. Glad you enjoyed the music and drone footage. Really appreciate it 👍. ATB Dave
Were a cracking trip this pal really enjoyed it & what a route eh..loved that down climb of Y Gribin & the drone footage you got it it don't half show its scale mind blowing..take care pal see ya nxt time.
A few squeaky bum moments eh, pal. Great trip tho 🙏🏻
Crackin.....as always 😁
Brilliant! 👍
Great stuff Dave. Too scary those routes for me! Keep using those trekking poles. They’ll save you knees. I tell that to the young bus but they don’t believe me. ATB
Cheers UP. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I’ll stick with the poles. Self preservation for the wise 👍
Stunning area and some great tech routes, thanks for sharing that, very similar to Arran here. A
Nice one Andy👍. I need to get to Arran again. ATB - Dave
Stunning views, a beautiful countryside, great drone footage, scary climbing onehandedly (scares me anyway).
Thank You for sharing. Stay safe
Big thanks ML 👍
Brilliant video as always Dave. Stunning scenery but looked scary in places on those ridges. Good to get out with your mates as well for a laugh and drive each other on.
Good decisions taken and nothing lost in content of video. A great watch.
Stay safe mate.👍
Cheers Simon. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, was a great trip with the lads 👍. ATB
Another great view Dave but didn't see the brew!
Cheers Chris. Haha. I know. Didn’t have time to film it 😁
Great video brilliant area got to be one of my favourites ⛰
Glad you enjoyed it Dave 👍
Epic Dave what a climb Tryfan is 🏔️🙌🙌🏴
Best wishes Simon 🤠👍🏔️
Cheers Simon 👍
Snowdonia has a much more "rugged" feel than the Lakes does it not. Good call on Bristly Ridge, wife and I did the same last time we were up there, that exposed top bit isn't somewhere to be in high winds. Llech Ddu Spur next? ATB Roger
Maybe one for winter that Llech Ddu, Roger?
Good decision, takes more guts to turn away! Bristly ridge will still be there next time you go and hopefully it will let you ascend! if it's 35 down there, it'll be more up top. Planning a trip there this month as prep for the CMD arête up the Ben with some friends I got into Scrambling last year thanks to Crib Goch. Handy vid to note the navigational points for most of the horseshoe route, thanks and happy scrambling :)
Cheers Matt. Ended up doing BR a couple of weeks after. There’s a video of that too. ATB 👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer Awesome you got to do it not long after, will check out the vid. Just waiting for the weather gods now :)
Another great and inspiring video. The scrambling looked really good but you wouldn't have got me doing that Adam and Eve nonsense! 😀 So thank you Dave, now I have watched you doing it I don't need to. Towards the end when you said you had an idea for a second I thought you were going for a dip in the water! 🥶 Your work is just superb. Can't wait to see what you get up to next.
Really appreciate that Martin. Big thanks 👍
Thanks for the memories Dave. I’ve done these brilliant mountains just the once as a 15 year old on a trip with the crazy climbing and walking teachers at my old school (Alfs) in 1966. Great video as usual. Cheers
Nice one David. Great memories for you. And me too, now 😎👍 ATB
Cool video dude
Glad you enjoyed it Jack 😎👍
Brings back memories of a few weeks ago when I climbed Tryfan. Awesome mountain
I loved this when I did it. Up Sinister Gully and Dexter. Amazing scramble
Good to see you back in Snowdonia enjoying our mountains. They're pretty good, eh? ;)
“Our mountains”, love that 😊
Yeah, loved it 🏴⛰⛺️👍
Love Your Show And Your Wine Take Care my Friend
Wow, Jees Dave that was hairy; the hairs were standing up on the back of my neck! But Magical views mate and glorious Sunsets! How you managed to take along with you I don’t know & take the Drone along and get some footage was the icing on the cake! Take care mate and look forward to the next one! ⛺️🏔🦉👣👍😎
Big Rogar. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Best video by far...i did Bristly ridge in the winter years ago
Big thanks Stephen 😎👍
You always stop my heart a time or two! Beautiful scenery as always. Thanks for taking us along!
Big thanks Dee, as always 🙏🏻. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I climbed up the Glyders 10 days ago and climbed down Y Gribin. It was inspiring to see the drone footage and see what I had climbed down! Glad you enjoyed your trip
Cheers Ben. Glad you enjoyed it 👍😎
Great climb up to the the pitch Dave 👍, them scramble sections looked really good and also technical, loved the atmospheric drone work, class mate, atb Mick 👍
Cheers MIck. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
Another great one, Dave. Well Done!
Great vid again Dave. Great perspective with the drone footage.
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew 👍
Outstanding views mate .. Good Trek and what a place to camp out with a few mates .. hats off to you lads . 👍
Cheers Arthur 😎👍
Brilliant Dave, what a stunning place.
Another good video mate. Keep them coming.
Following on from Trobkal saturday ;) you're bringing me back some summer memories from Trfan when unfortunately the weather rolled in to stop me me solo summiting Dave :( however I did Cnicht wild camp. You must go there its the Welsh Matterhorn ! Beautiful solitude cause nobody goes there Merk my words :) M ☘️
Cheers Merky. Not done Cnicht. Must check it out 👍
Have to say Dave, went last year with a couple of experienced mates. We went up Sinister Gully. There is a point about two thirds up which spooked me........did it in the end with good help pointing out the route. I'm only into basic scrambling, that was a little tricky.....
Yeah. I went back with Scott a few weeks later and did BR. Was a bit tricky carrying camping gear but great fun too 👍
I love those mountains but haven't been able to get there this year, your stunning video and drone footage reminds me how good it is!
Thanks Liz. Yeah, it’s pretty spectacular round there 😎👍. Glad you enjoyed my video 🙏🏻
been waiting for this one to come out, was chatting with scott about it about 3 weeks ago on facebook, you had wicked weather heading up tryfan, shame its went downhill when you were up on the glyders, the views from up their are amazing on a clear day, when you said you think you have an idea but kept a lid on it towards the end, i think i know that secret from where you were when you said it, im very familiar with round their and where you were stood when you said it lol, oh that was some incredible drone footage, shows the scale of the surroundings, epic footage, your best yet imo 💪💪👌👌👍👍
Nice one guys. Big thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
Quite a trip Dave. Well done getting the drone up in breezy conditions. Funnily enough my son and I got lost up there about ten years ago and had to back off and go straight down, unfortunately over rough rocks all the way. My knees complained for a few days afterwards. Mind you we did manage Snowdon the next day. Btw my son was 30 then and was fitter than I was. North Wales is closer for me living in the Midlands.
Cheers John. Yeah the drone certainly gave a great perspective. Glad you enjoyed it 😎👍
Nice one pal. Can’t wait for some winter exploits 😉
Aye, freezing our balls off. Great fun 🥶😆😎
@@TheSoloSummiteer Yeah, in Gale force winds, heavy rain and storm conditions 🤣
Bristly Ridge is one of the best scrambles ever. Not fun in exposed weather of course 😬
Yeah. Enjoyed it 😎⛰👍
Thanks Dave. Y Gribin looked as daunting as Bristly Ridge! I’m hoping to get the bus over there on Wednesday to do two nights, but I’m going to take the ‘easy route’! Didn’t see any sign of fresh water. Did you have to carry it from the bottom?
Cheers Peter. Yeah, we carried water. Don’t recall seeing any up there. Hope you have a great trip. ATB Dave
Cool mountains, solid rocks... then the fog comes, the wind blows. Surely the air there is very cold, right? You did well, good job 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks BG 👍Temperature was about 4degC at night.
👋🏻
Great Job Dave. Yes, doing all that with Wild Camp gear is not the same! Was going to suggest a helmet but then realized both my last 2 I didn't put it on 🤣☺️. . ... . Went that way down on my Idwal vid. It's a great scramble. I'm out Friday night poss GEnd area....we shall see ! Keep it up mate
Cheers bud. Stay safe out there🙏🏻. ATB - Dave
@@TheSoloSummiteer cheers Dave. Had a plan...but the weather wasn't quite as forecast. Should have been on eve with clear summits and very wet morning. It was all very wet. But we tested out tents up near Sprinkling. No idea if theres a film yet 😝
@@MountainManJohnFilms you must be mad. I’m a fair weather camper 😁👍
@@TheSoloSummiteer Ha ha......I am normally. But we thought let's do it! Just for the exposure to the bad conditions while not being too cold. It was wet 🤣
Nowt wrong with that. Better when you have company, too 👍. I sense a “Heavy Rain” video coming 😆
Some good decisions were made on this trip, Dave. Many others would have taken the ridge despite the conditions, particularly those who film it. Pleased you didn't succumb to the promise of extra views over the safety of you and the gang.
Hope you're well.
Cheers Ste. It was a great trip 😎👍
Safety first. Always 👍
Great thumbnail Dave. You really get 10/10 with this one 👌 When can we expect some merch? 😎
Haha. Been thinking about merch but got way too much shit going on in my personal life right now. One day, maybe. Cheers tho 😎👍
Awesome video!! Did you just leave your car in one of the lay bys in the Ogwen valley?
Yes I did 👍
From 5min 30 secs of you video, how much further would you say the ridge was as I actually got to that point but bad weather forced me back.
Maybe 10mins depending on your pace. Loads of different routes up.
رحلة رائعة
ما هي طبيعة الصخور
في هذه المنطقة ؟
هل هي من الجرانيت؟
أم من الرخام ؟
They are volcanic rocks 👍
I wonder if you could show me how you can put a link in the description of another person's channel
Thanks in advance
Graeme
Hi Graeme. I don’t think it’s possible to add anything to the description on someone else’s channel.
@@TheSoloSummiteer I got mixed up. I should have said how to put a link in your own description with a link to someone else's channel? 🤣
