Short steep snowy climb
by Fergalh  25 Apr 2021
From Cefn Brith Uchaf we headed back along the track through the river valley and just before the final forest section we headed up hill through the snow to this unmarked summit. There was a track running slightly uphill to the south which we followed for a while and than the slog began This was the smallest but hardest hill of the day heather and boggy Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B14426/comment/22988/
