This classic Snowdonia route combines two of the best-known grade 1 scrambles in the UK. The North Ridge of Tryfan offers a challenging, hands-on ascent with constant scrambling and exposed sections, while Bristly Ridge continues the adventure with narrow ridgelines and rocky chimneys leading onto the Glyderau plateau. It’s a demanding but rewarding day, well-suited to confident scramblers with good movement skills and a head for heights.

Warning: This route is dangerous on a good weather day, do not attempt in rain or snow.
