Dolmen Ridge: An Adventure To Glyder Fach

[@clogsonthemountain]

I've always been weary of Dolmen ridge, especially after various reports of rockfall and loose holds. The route was way more solid than imagined and i thoroughly enjoyed it! One of Snowdonias classic grade 3 scrambles with some excellent views!

Absolutely Superb m8 👌⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤟

[@clogsonthemountain]

Thanks, really enjoyed this one!

[@thebaldscrambler]

Never done the LH start, looks interesting! The whole route is great, including the finish near the top with the overhanging slab. Great footage.

[@clogsonthemountain]

LH definitely interesting, especially the move! I will be back for the right and solo at the same time.

[@joew245]

Great route. Rusty is a top bloke, been out with him a few times and learnt a huge amount from him.

[@clogsonthemountain]

Absolute legend mate, done lots with him now 👍 Dolmen is a fantastic route and was nothing like I expected it to be

[@nickhayes4627]

Great vid mate👍 you make the crux look doable😁

[@clogsonthemountain]

Thanks, crux is much better than porcupines one mate 👍

[@clogsonthemountain]

@@gb.snippets better route finding and holds

[@TG-pd3ft]

Enjoyed that. RH approach is better for scramblers. The corner is much easier than it looks as the holds are there. One to go back and solo using the better Ashton route

[@clogsonthemountain]

Thanks, will definitely be returning for the right approach and will be solo-ing too,a thing I thought I would never say about Dolmen 😂

[@vs123]

I like the best mountain

[@clogsonthemountain]

Glyder fach has got some great scrambles on its face 👍

[@TG-pd3ft]

8:45 I hate that 'moving together' thing. If one falls, you both die. why did your guide do that, did he explain?

[@clogsonthemountain]

Must say I'm not comfortable with 3 on a rope either. With moving together I believe it was to stop us from constantly tieing in and out. Would have been quite comfortable solo-ing however I'm sure it's insurance related.

[@JT-kt1rp]

I can’t stand being tied in the middle on a scramble. Trying to manage the rope makes it much more dangerous than moving as a pair.

[@OutandaboutwithSpencer]

Awesome mate, not for me though! 😬

[@clogsonthemountain]

Yeah nice bit of exposure on it and some great moves. 👍

[@The_Reality_Filter]

So that's a grade 3 scramble correct? Crib Goch is grade 1 and far more dangerous in my very limited opinion.

[@clogsonthemountain]

It definitely has serious exposure, scrambling wise way easier than a grade 3 though

[@The_Reality_Filter]

@@clogsonthemountainit's the lack of 3 constant points of contact combined with the extreme exposure that makes my palms sweat watching people walk the ridge.

[@clogsonthemountain]

@The_Reality_Filter totally agree, weather plays a huge factor on it as well

[@brokenjet6134]

​@@The_Reality_Filtercrib goch is rightly a grade 1 you do have 3 points of contact if you step down to the left. It also has pretty much no loose rock and no climbing (up until the pinnacles which are very simple) while the exposure is extreme it's a very simple path and could be done by anyone if they don't suffer with vertigo. Dolmen ridge is a grade 3 because of the danger involved with loose rocks and more technical climbing over fatal exposure. The loose rock is more of a problem before and after the crux. The crux is really not too bad but should be taken with huge caution due to previous incidents. I did it recently and it wasn't too bad but because of the dangers involved I would advise someone wanting to do it to check holds and not lunge towards holds expecting them to be solid

​@@The_Reality_Filterbro wait. what tf is on your channel..
