Esgeiriau Gwynion, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales.
Esgeiriau Gwynion is a 671-meter peak in Gwynedd, Wales, with several established routes crossing its slopes. It forms part of the larger Aran Fawddwy mountain range in the region.
The mountain was included in multiple British mountaineering classification systems such as Marilyns, Nuttalls, and Hewitts. These designations reflect its standing within the region's climbing tradition.
The Welsh name means "white shanks", which reflects how local communities have historically named their peaks based on visible natural features.
Hikers can reach the summit from Llanuwchllyn using well-marked paths, with Ordnance Survey map OL23E providing useful guidance. Bring waterproof clothing and navigation tools, as weather conditions change quickly on exposed ridges.
The summit is marked by a distinctive cairn made of white quartz that gives the peak its characteristic appearance. This natural marker helps hikers easily spot the highest point even from a distance.
