Join me as I scramble up Snowdonia's Seniors Gully and Ridge onto Glyder Fawr, I then descend down the infamous scree slope, around Devil's Kitchen and back to Llyn Idwal.
I've published a writeup with maps and more info on my website at thebaldscrambler.co.uk/snowdo...

Seniors Gully is a grade 1 summer scramble up a fairly stepped but often wet gully next to Idwal Slabs, it leads onto Seniors Ridge which is also a summer grade 1 and somewhat broad in places. The top section of the route can be difficult to navigate in cloud or snow so map skills or prior knowledge are crucial.
A warning: If you attempt this route in winter conditions, you do so at your own risk and may need rope, crampons, axes and solid winter skills.
