The highest peak on Cader is Pen y Gadair, seen here

poking through the morning clag. This view taken from

the summit of Mynydd Moel on the eastern end of the

Cader Idris ridge. (August 2009)


The now clear summit of Pen y Gadair taken a couple of hours later from

the summit of Craig Cau. Mynydd Moel is off to the right of this picture.

This is the Minffordd Path route for Cader, but I did it anti-clockwise rather

than the normal clockwise route because that gets you all your height in

one ferocious grind (I know, because I blew out my left knee on the way down).

A map of the route is shown here
