On Saturday walked up to Clogwyn y Ddysgl and climbed Sinister Gully (nothing Sinister about it today in the glorious weather). A good route with great snow conditions in the top part. On reaching the ridge we had superb views to Snowdon. Descended by the Crib Goch ridge in bright sunshine, quite awkward getting off the summit and a very slippery path back to the pass, and then a trudge back down the road to the car, although kindly offered a lift for the last half mile.
After snow down to the valley overnight we gingerly drove back up to Pen y Pass and walked into the Trinity face of Snowdon which had looked so good the day before. A much more typical winters day with a fair bit of snow blowing down the face as we climbed the Central Gully almost straight to the summit of Snowdon (no train or cafe today!). Descended by the Pyg track which was being covered by deep fresh snow. Back down by half two with very tired legs! Great weekend.
