Scrambling on the North West face of Glyder Fawr, Idwal Valley, Idwal Staircase and the continuation on the slabs above. Snowdonia

Owen crossing the waterfall on Idwal Staircase

This is a very wet (grade 2) scramble this time of the year with the amount of water coming off the mountain at the moment. Scrambling either side and in a waterfall! The north west face is only broken by one gigantic ledge otherwise it is a series of discontinuous slabs. We started on Idwal staircase scrambling our way up on the right of the waterfall, crossing it to continue up the left side. Just getting very wet crossing it! The scramble continues at the top of the waterfall on the left after the big break weaving its way up to a big wall and passing below it on a steep ramp. We arrived before we knew it, on Seniors Ridge. What a great day out even if it didn’t stop raining! http://mountaineeringjoe.co.uk/rock-scrambling-courses/
