Cyfrwy, Mountain summit in Gwynedd, Wales
Cyfrwy rises to 811 meters with steep northern and eastern cliffs, forming a prominent component of the Cadair Idris range in Snowdonia National Park.
The summit stands as a long-established landmark within Snowdonia, serving as a navigation point for local shepherds through multiple generations of Welsh mountain farming.
The Welsh name Cyfrwy reflects the traditional practice of naming geographical features according to their physical characteristics in the Welsh language system.
Climbers can access the summit via the Pony Path, which connects to the main Cadair Idris trail system and requires proper mountain gear for safety.
The Cyfrwy Arete presents a technical climbing challenge with an exposed rock face that demands advanced mountaineering skills and specialized equipment.
