Tryfan, Xmas trip

A start with a trip that would become a North Wales standard over the years... the clouds were below the tops and there was a light dusting of snow on the ground, but the main issue was the wind.

We parked by the cafe at Ogwen, and walked down to the other end of the lake, before scrambling up the north ridge and down to the the col barely pausing at the summit. Hiding behind the wall on the col for some food and drink, we quickly chose to drop back down to Ogwen, rather than tackle Bristley ridge, in the gale.
