TRYFAN

Tryfan is located in the picturesque Ogwen Valley which is part of Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. Standing at an elevation of 3,003 feet (911 meters), it is one of the most recognizable peaks in the region and is renowned for its rugged and distinctive shape.
 

The mountain is notable for its dramatic granite ridges, boulders, and sheer cliffs, making it a favored destination for climbers and hikers. The two summits of Tryfan are separated by a large rocky outcrop known as Adam and Eve, which are two large stones that have become iconic for those attempting to summit the mountain, as jumping the stones is often seen as a rite of passage for hikers.

Tryfan is also famous for its diverse and challenging walking routes, with different paths offering varying degrees of difficulty. The attraction of the mountain lies not only in its physical challenges but also in the stunning views it provides of the surrounding landscape, including nearby peaks of the Carneddau and lakes such as Llyn Ogwen.
