Crib-y-rhiw

The summit of Crib-y-rhiw rises to 679 meters, forming a thin ridge that connects the peaks of Y Llethr and Diffwys in the Rhinogydd range.

Crib-y-rhiw has been documented in Welsh cartography since the creation of the Ordnance Survey maps, marked at grid reference SH661258 on sheet 124.

The Welsh name Crib-y-rhiw translates to 'ridge of the slope', reflecting the traditional Welsh practice of naming geographical features based on their physical characteristics.

Hikers can access Crib-y-rhiw through multiple routes, with nearby wild camping spots available at Llyn Hywel and Llyn Du for extended mountain expeditions.

The summit features a small stone pile at its southeastern end, marking the highest point where visitors can observe five neighboring peaks within a 2.5-kilometer radius.
