Long wet trek to summit
by Fergalh
26 Mar 2021
From Mynydd Cemmaes head north along the forest edge . This leads to a drop down to the col a steep climb up from the col will lead to the minor summit of Llechwedd Mawr marked with a trig pillar. Continue North with a small descent and ascent and you will reach the unmarked summit of Esgair Ddu Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/B2173/comment/22704/

Minor summit if approaching from the south
by Fergalh
26 Mar 2021
This is not on the mountainviews list but is an impressive summit all the same marked with a trig pillar. Which if you are approaching Esgair Ddu you will cross over. The trig pillar is beside the small forest on the top Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/B2173/comment/22705/
