Planning on running the Welsh 3000s this year, and I remember the last two times I've been up Glyder Fach (or Fawr, I can't remember which one it is) the summit is a horrendous pile of huge boulders that felt quite scary in the wind and rain.
Last time I hiked up there, we (probably foolishly) carefully clambered our way up to the top to just touch the highest stone, then found it took another 10 minutes to carefully clamber back down, all whilst looking down the several metre drops to the little gaps between the boulders.
Is this the actual summit? The "top of the pile of rocks", or have I mistook it? When people run the Welsh 3000s do they actually climb up all that? It felt so dangerous and took so long! Unless I've missed an easy way to climb up it that I didn't find that day.
Thanks
