Creigiau Gleision, Mountain summit in Snowdonia National Park, Wales, Great Britain.
Creigiau Gleision rises to 678 meters, featuring steep crags that descend toward Llyn Cowlyd reservoir and offer views across multiple Welsh valleys.
The mountain contains an ancient bridleway that served as a vital trade route connecting the settlements of Capel Curig and Trefriw through the centuries.
The peak forms part of the Carneddau range, where generations of Welsh mountaineers have developed their climbing and navigation skills in variable conditions.
The circular route from Capel Curig extends 9.5 miles with 727 meters of ascent through varying terrain that requires proper navigation equipment and sturdy footwear.
The mountain ridge includes sections of white quartzite rock formations that distinguish it from other peaks in the northern region of Snowdonia.
