Overview
Snowdonia in winter transforms from a popular walking destination to a genuine mountaineering arena, with Snowdon's Trinity Face and the Y Glyderau ridges providing Scottish-grade winter climbing on Welsh rock. Tryfan's North Buttress and the Cwm Bochlwyd approach to Bristly Ridge offer Grade II and III winter routes that test ice axe and crampon technique in accessible conditions. The Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel below Pen y Pass, training base for the 1953 Everest team, remains the classic mountaineers' billet.
