Glyder Fach, Mountain summit in Conwy County Borough, United Kingdom
Glyder Fach reaches an elevation of 994 meters, making it the second highest peak in the Glyderau range and sixth highest in Wales.
The mountain's name stems from the Welsh word 'Gludair', which refers to a large accumulation of stones found across its surface.
The mountain's rock formations, including Y Gwyliwr and Castell y Gwynt, have inspired numerous Welsh legends and appeared in the film Dragonslayer.
Multiple trails lead to the summit, with the Tryfan South Ridge providing a moderate route while the Bochlwyd Horseshoe offers a more demanding experience.
The summit features a peculiar balanced rock formation called Y Gwyliwr, perched atop a substantial pile of weathered stones.
