Steep up and down from west
by Fergalh  3 Nov 2020
From Bannau Sir Gaer there is a steep descent followed by a steep climb up Fan Foel. A series of wide wooden fences long jump style are on the descent presumably to stop avalanches. This is the most northern jut out of ridge but has no cairn or trig pillar Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B5458/comment/21237/
