Sept 2022 - Ascent from Bethesda. The Llech Ddu Spur/Crib Lem route is a perfect grade 1 scramble on a wild and striking ridge leading to the summit of Carnedd Dafydd. Surprisingly, and fortunately, it's nowhere near as popular as the nearby scrambles on Tryfan, and Glyder Fach's Bristly Ridge. People are probably put off by the long walk in or they just are unaware of it. Anyway, today was the second time I'd enjoyed it. After ascending through the dramatic scenery of the secluded Cwm Llafar to Cwmglas Mawr, I rested and took in this incredible location. Massive boulders, wonderful colours and the ominous crags towering above - definitely a future wild camp spot. The scramble and steep ground before it was fantastic - I'd forgotten about the Christmas tree slab so it was great to be reacquainted with it. The ridge to Carnedd Llewellyn from Dafydd was great as always, and it was still early so not many about. Wonderful panoramas as I traversed to Yr Elen and the views to the Glyders and Elidir Fawr were stunning as always. Descended Yr Elen's north-east ridge before the long walk out above the Afon Caseg.
