Tips

Hiking
Allt Maenderyn — often referred to as the south ridge — makes for a sublime, airy ridge walk that doesn't quite qualify as scrambling territory. The arête makes for a magnificent hike though, with shapely Yr Aran, bulky Moel Hebog and the sinuous Crib Nantlle (Nantlle Ridge) all forming the backdrop.

Running
The main ridge starts at Bwlch Cwm Llan below Yr Arran and heads up to join the Rhydd-Ddu path and the Bwlch Main ridge to the summit. The terrain isn’t too technical but parts are fairly exposed, so care should be taken in high winds.
