tryfan north ridge

[DinglingDangler]

Climbing Tryfan for the first time in a few months, liking the vid :)

[stealthyspider]

Just back from Tryfan. Did the North face. 60 to 70mph gusts. Sleet rain. Some spots had my poopa going. I think it was just once I thought I might really die here.

I climbed this mountain when I was 12 great memories

[snifnscratch]

not as bad as it looks, depending on the route you take n they all converge at the top. at the top it stared pissing down n i found my borrowed "waterproof" pants were not! so i came straight down.

what looks FAR worse is bristly ridge, n when you get to the top of tryfan u cant miss it - its the hairy lookin fkr right in front of you......

Great fun this mountain. I'm not a climber but like a good mountain walk so there's a couple of genuine concentration required in places as long as you're good on your feet and hands. Not too big either. Recommended.

Does any1 know what the weather is like there in summer (June)

[sidwills]

Any mixture of conditions from gale force winds and horizontal rain to blistering sunshine, probably in the same day and on the same route.

North ridge is a fun climb, try bristly ridge or crib goch if you want a scare :D

[MegaTories]

@fol01 I found Bristly Ridge more scary than Crib Goch. On Crib Goch you could fall a very long way in principle, but it's extremely unlikely. On Bristly Ridge I ended up somewhere where I'd "only" have fallen a few metres but it felt like I had a moderate chance of actually doing so.

[fol01]

@MegaTories In principle I agree with you, however it doesn't take away from the fact that there have been several fatalities on Crib Goch. However I definitely agree there are a few extremely 'hairy' places on Bristly Ridge, it felt far more precarious.

very easy to get lost on way down north ridge,esp in poor vis :) watch out for the heather xD

[nad236]

lmao im 12 and i clibmed that yesteday

[sidwills]

[HannarhhX]

Tryfan is the only one worth climbing if you ask me - I love it!

[menher12345]

loved it years ago, off there next week... checking out another way up.... cool vid

[druigy1]

amazing climb if you want a good buzz

[FineEye]

i love tryfan. took the kids up the north side couple of years ago and he freaked when it got cloudy and we had to come back down north face - nightmare. went up on my own last year and it was awesome. scarier than it looks. i love the focus you have gripping the rock for dear life, although i did alot of it on my belly haha. its a real arsehole-twitcher - recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of a rush ;^D

[awyren]
