With the Snowdon Massif under your belt you will cross the A4086 where the Glyderau await you!

The route then takes you past Lyn y Cwn to the summit of Glyder Fawr, then Glyder Fach before heading towards the final summit of the day, the mighty Tryfan! A challenging descent takes you down to the road where transport will be waiting to take you back to base camp where a hot shower and food await! Teams will overnight here under canvas.
