Mynydd Graig Goch, Mountain summit in Snowdonia National Park, Wales.
Mynydd Graig Goch is a mountain summit in Snowdonia, Wales, rising to approximately 610 meters. Its northeastern face drops steeply while the southern slopes are scattered with boulders and loose rock.
GPS measurements in 2008 confirmed the height at approximately 609.75 meters, allowing it to qualify for the Welsh 2000-foot peaks list. This precise measurement established the mountain's official status within Wales' peak registry.
The Welsh name means 'mountain of the red rock', referring to the reddish stone that colors the slopes. This name choice reflects how local geology shaped the identity of the place.
Climbing here requires comfort moving across rocky and uneven ground with scrambling over large stones. Late spring through early autumn offers the most favorable weather conditions for the ascent.
