- Yep, we got LOST in the MIST on TRYFAN one of Snowdonia's MOST DANGEROUS MOUNTAINS! We could have DIED Up There!
Summit or Nothing Ep 6 - Hiking On Tryfan - Lost and Found in Snowdonia.
It's Summit or Nothing's second Mountain, and its a big one. TRYFAN is a dominating Dragons Back of a Mountain, its three summits each as hazardous as the next. And we attempt it in thick fog, with absolutely no previous mountain experience. Looking back, its a wonder we ever made it off that mountain alive.
As the weather rolls in, will it be a Summit or a Nothing for our lads?
Thanks a lot!
The book used in this video is Britains Highest Mountain Walks - if you are interested in your own copy then here's a link - amzn.to/2tUNg6t
One of the few mountains in the UK where the summit cannot be reached on foot alone, Tryfan stands just shy of 1000 metres and is considered by many a great challenging peak to conquer.

You guys are not idiots... you are an inspiration!!!! Cheers, from Texas
Thanks Steve - you're too kind, sir!
I climbed Tryfan in my 20's (now mid 70's) with a group which split up leaving me and one other. Climbed high all in mist and thought we were in serious danger at one point. Not so well equipped as yourselves but knew we'd climbed in a circle when I passed the same flattened tube of condensed milk for the second time. It was great to watch your experience and I understand totally your effort and emotions. Well done you reached Adam and Eve - I didn't get to see them. Best bit for me in the 60's was the walk along the road after the climb to the pub (a few miles) to meet the group - thought of nothing other than a pint of shandy. Thanks for this it brought back happy times. WELL done both of you. Your pictures were true to my experience. Those who haven't done it won't get it! Jackie, Glasgow
Yea, i said to Nath Im sure we werent the first to get lost on here, but boy, did it frustrate us. Alls well that ends well though, eh. I didnt think pint, when I got off, I just thought home, and we literally drove straight back to Cornwall having just got down. Anyway, thanks for watching. Got some more mountains coming up, as we prepare to visit the lake district next. Hope you care to join us. Thanks for watching
@@SummitOrNothing is nath single lol lovely vid
Tryfan is ace, I did a scramble of the North ridge many years ago. Suberb, thanks for the memories.
Thanks for watching - glad that you enjoyed it!
I am going there again today, different way up but the weather conditions the same :) It was pleasure to watch Your video. Great sense of humor.
27:44 true fact guys that is the secret constantly keep checking the map .. every 5/7 minutes that should keep you on track ..
Many years ago our guide had map compass experience and we all got lost for hours ,, all because our guide kept looking at the map every half hour in the clouds he never had a clue,, easily done more then you would expect.. lovely video and enjoyed watching ..
Yea, we were a bit slack once we picked up directions from a fellow hillwalker, it all sounded so obvious! Big lesson learnt there, I can tell you! Thanks for watching!
@ 5:44 - You gonna take Nath to climb up that slab? ;) ADVENTURINICISSMS!
Funny - we were only talking about that the other night!
Very nice video , I climbed up Tryfan a couple of times and find it harder than crib coch, I did Tryfan 2 years ago on my own but quit from the top style due to very bad weather, good video guys
Loved the vid! You two are funny. I did Tryfan in pure sunshine 2 weeks ago. Totally amazing. Next day did The Glyders and Y Garn also in pure sunshine. Cheers
Wow - I bet that was awesome. Will have to get back there and hopefully in better weather at some point! Thank you for watching! Cheers !
Since 1980, I've been up Tryfan and the Glyders numerous times and all the different routes. Can't do it any more because my knees are totally buggered - last time was about 4 years ago and it was pure agony all the way down. I really do miss those high walks.
33:38 Props to the girl in the shorts!
Made me laugh! Well done guys for not giving up! Respect!
Thanks Christopher!
Brilliant mountain, been up the North ridge, many ways to go and many ways to get lost. A visit to the cannon stone is a must. Great vid guys.
You guys have true grit... gritty grit. So awesome. My daughters and I wild camped by your stile and it was excruciating seeing you go right past where you needed to be. We climbed in gorgeous sunshine and swam in the first lake in the video. Respect for keeping going to the top. Would you Adam and Eve it....
Hhaa! Thanks very much - true grit and a keen sense of adventurousnessism.... It was an excrutiating hike this one, but could have been much worst if we weren't rescued along the way haha. Thanks for watching!
Really loved this vid. Great soundtrack. It really matched the mood. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Guys. Thanks for showing it how it usually is. Glad I'm not the only bugger who gets lost sometimes.
Great video guys. I'm actually off to the Ogwen valley this weekend too. Doing Tryfan, The Glyders, wild camping and wild swimming and I can't wait.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your ascent of Tryfan, amazing scenic views. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching, really glad that you enjoyed it!
Great watch, cheers boys. Heading up for the first time soon.
Another great video, thank you for taking us on your adventure 🧗♀️. We visited Snowdonia for the first time in 2019 and were blessed with clear blue skies for the whole of the week, fabulous walking weather. Loved the Glydrs, Cadaer Idris, so many mountains - so little time… maybe Tryfan next time
This is what I watch youtube for, great honest videos . Good work guys I really enjoyed that.
Thanks very much - we thought whats the point in trying to pretend to be something we're not, warts and all for summit or nothing lol. Cheers for watching!
Another cracking video guys.
Cheers Malcom!
cool video lads and great choices coffee is always good to get your bearing with and have a break.. too many people just try to fly up and just miss the point of it all. enjoyed the video :)
Climbed Tryfan a few times in the past.... this vid has inspired me to have another go.
Thanks for posting Trev, fantastic vid and really enjoyed watching 😎👍
Thanks for watching! This was only our second mountain and a real eye opener in som many ways. I'd love to get back ther e again at some point. Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed your Tryfan trek and enjoying your channel in general. Kind of a Misty Mountain Hop at the summit there from Nath! Keep up the great work guys.
Thanks Steve - glad you enjoyed it. Was a really good day despite the weather and getting lost. Going to visit some in the lake district soon, Scaffell Pike to start so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
great stuff lads,really enjoyed that,persevered and got your summit,just goes to show though how easy it can be to lose you way,you nearly ended up on the Glyders,which is a great walk in itself,all the best for your next trips
Thanks Mark. Yep, we heard that the Glyders is a great walk - we will definitely be going back. Thanks for watching, and subscribing. Love your videos too btw, have shared one or two to our channel. Keep it up!
Came back to watch your Tryfan experience again after getting up there for the first time myself.. went along the Heather and down the way that you went up. Also made my stomach go watching Nath do it, feck all that!
great video lads,,, had my crying laughing especially the premature g and t... luckily there was people to help... we all need a bit of help sometimes right ? keep on keeping on !! summit or nothing !! i want a t shirt :)
Thanks Andrew - glad that you enjoyed the video - our second ever mountain and a real learning curve, I must admit! Thanks for watching, and check out our merch page if you really want a T-Shirt! shop.spreadshirt.co.uk/summit-or-nothing/
@@SummitOrNothing on it now :)
@@andrewswan2487 Thank you very much.
Good vid guys. Tryfan was my first mountain scramble, did the north face and being scared of heights found it terrifying and awesome at the same time. The Ogwen Valley is my favourite walking place.
Thanks very much for watching - and glad you enjoyed it. Yep, Tryfan was a real eye opener. We loved it but at the same time couldnt wait to get off.
Nice video guys, really enjoyed it.
me and a friend recently climbed Tryfan in the snow but we went up the north face route highly recommend it :)
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed it. We will be going back to Tryfan at some point, was a cracking hike / scramble. Thanks for watching - and please subscribe if you havent already to keep track of our adventures!
Great to see Tryfan in the mist. I can remember on 3 fingers the times I have been up Trif in the sun. You both got to see her at her finest. Good to see you mentioned the helper who looks at his map constantly, when you're in that sort of environment and conditions, you really need to keep a very close eye on your map and compass. It's not uncommon to take compass bearings for legs of 50m or less.
Well done to Nath for his Adam and Eve jump. You have the freedom of Tri-faen!
Yep, was a proper misty day, and as it was only our second ever mountain I think we can allow a little error. Was an eye opener for both of us, I think. Thanks very much for watching.
Did Tryfan in the mist just like you guys but in 1973…. Most memorable bit was a pub down the road in Bethesda.. the locals were all speaking English until you got near them when they immediately switched to Welsh.. It was a couple of years post decimalisation but the Landlord was still giving the price of beer in pounds,shillings, and pence.. I doubt much has changed since..
Love it! Another great vid guys - need to make it to Wales one day
Thanks Roz! You definitely should!
Fantastic vid guys - really enjoyed it. Did a similar route just recently - great mountain 👍
Thanks, Mark - glad you enjoyed our vid. It was a beaut of a mountain, just wish the mist had held off a bit! Hope your route didn't get you quite as lost as us lol. Thanks for watching!
We’ve just done the grid goch , this is our next venture I think
Enjoyed watched thank you 👌👍🏼
Another great video from you guys keep up the great work, was this the north ridge route?
Cheers. I don't know what route this was supposed to be now... Was it called the heather track or something? Regardless we missed it along the way somewhere haha...
I love your TH-cam videos I’ve recently been to snowdon and tryfan in the last month and failed 2 summit both of them :( lots of snow and ice at the moment so we shall return :)
Than ks mate - glad you enjoy the videos. Shame you didn't summit them, but good effort for trying. I can only imagine how dicey it must have been up there in those conditions. Gonna get worst before it gets better I hear! Anyway, good luck for your future conquests and thanks for commenting!
The best vid you have ever done
Cheers Ray - it is a classic, mate!
Have seen a few Tryfan videos but this is the most entertaining and probably does more than most to prepare you psychologically for what you might expect to experience up there! Great repartee between the two of you.
Thanks Jay! Yea - this was a learning curve for us for sure! thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your video and I'm glad that you got back safely. I was a bit worried for you about half way through. I found it quite an education as I was thinking about what I would do if in that situation. Maybe a bearing along the wall and the rock face and a bearing down the slope? I thought that I was getting better at keeping track of distance travelled but had a bit of an awakening on my last wild camp trip to the lakes.
I am more interested in tackling Tryfan now that I have seen your video. My mate wanted to take me up the north face in winter. Having seen the number of incidents involving mountain rescue on the north face I have decided that it's not something to be taken lightly. Especially in winter.
Andy
Yeah, as this was our second mountain it was a real wake up call as to what we were getting ourselves into, and of the extra care required on this mountainous terrain. Thanks for watching, hope you get to tackle it soon! All the best!
Just watched your Tryfan hike, proper enjoyed it 🤚 subscribed ✔
Cheers, Dean - glad you liked it! Hope you can find the time to enjoy more of our content! Cheers!
Hi guys Tryfan is on my "to do" this year I nearly attempted to hack her on the horseshoe but after walking up Y Garn I cut my losses and decided to do it 2 parts, I have posted my video on it if it interests you, I'm doing Snowdon on my birthday on the 6th of July so wish me luck, I really should be happy with a cake for my 50th 😂 not a bloody hike 😂
Great film, appreciated the genuine humanity regards James
Would love to see you guys up Crib Goch. Is amazing up there. Top vid mates
Great video (I’ve watched it a few times over lockdown) and congratulations on getting to 10,000 subscribers. I climbed Tryfan a few times from the campsite you showed. It is a difficult mountain to navigate as the paths seem to fade into the rest of the and become in distinct, worse in mist and cloud. I know you’ve started to use ViewRanger (as have I for the past 5/6 years) as a backup to paper. However, if your using paper OS maps as your primary, can I suggest ‘OS Locate’ it’s a simple app that gives your map grid reference in OS format to transfer or check against your estimated position. ‘Windy Maps’ is another new great app including free ViewRanger/OS style maps across the world with route planning and calculation, worth checking out. Cheers
Hi ya - thanks for watching, and for the heads up on those alternative apps to use - I will check them out. 😃
I went up there in late July this year and I was surprised even in good weather how easy it was to lose the path!
That's reassuring to hear. Not just us then haha...
Great vid
Thanks very much - glad that you enjoyed it!
Re: your love of stoves? Have you guys never heard of flasks, packed sandwiches, a banana and perhaps a pack of biscuits? A lot lighter to carry? But enjoy your films! Thanks for posting.
Having climbed it a few times from the heather terrace,
Corinne and myself had a memorable day , we scrambled up the west ridge , amazing warm day considering it was the 27 December,
We helped a group of guys to the top ,
Great memory thank you Corinne:)
Thanks for the comment, Gareth - I must say I would love to get back there at some point! Cheers !
Well done lads. There are 14 peaks over 3000ft in Snowdonia.' Backpacking in Wales' by Showell Styles is a fantastic book if you can find a copy.
Ah, that does sound a good book - will look it up thanks. I have a copy of Collins MOuntain walks over 3000, covers the whole of the UK, thats what we usually use as a guide. Hoping next year to get back up to Snowdonia and cover some more ground! Thanks for watching, Richie!
Nice 1 guys 👍🏻
Cheers Mike. Glad that you enjoyed it! Mae sure you sub for more adventures if you havent already! All the best!
I nearly injured my self or possibly died we were making the decent down and i slipped hitting my head on a rock knocking me out and my dad risking his own life moving fast to grab me nearly falling of the edge i have brain damage now it happened when i was 13 I’m 16 now but i still climb mountains just not try-fan if my dad wasn’t there i could of died
Holy sh*t :o
Good stuff :)
Tom Romero cheers boi !
I enjoyed that :) :)
Love it guys i did the south face when i was 15 with the school..and shite mesel then did it 25 years later and shit mesel again lol👌
Hahaha! Yea, I bet, that route does look pretty ropey to me! Thanks for watching!
I think I'll add Tryfan to the list guys, it actually looks a bit horrible, so, all the better. :). Liked the music on this one, Trev, loads of atmosphere.
The weather made it a bloody nightmare - tempers flared, we were exhausted, down in the dumps, but what an adventure. Loved it! Definitely, worth the look, we hope to get back again in better weather! Thanks for watching!
So glad the weather cleared for you, would have been devastating to have put all that hard work in and not benefited from those breath taking views! Climbed it the day after Boxing Day and it was sheet ice at the summit so we have Adam and Eve and miss this time!
I bet that was a bit dodgy. Yeah, it made our day to see what we were looking out across. By the time we got up the top we were done in. I hope to get back there on a clear day one day and make more of a walk of it. If we werent backtracking so much we would have done a different circular route I think. Thanks for watching Kayleigh!
Phew just watching made me tired ,glad too see it all came back on track so easy to turn wrong in mist ,I did striding edge on a fairly clear day got the start and it was misty ,blowing ,damp I stood there for a moment thinking do I go ,then some people came up behind had a chat as they walked off one turned around and said would you like too tag along with us end of story had a great walk too summit and back down squirrel edge finding out they were military police on a walking hols so big shout out could have been a nothing! And returned back to car atb
What book was you using. Love all your vids
Thanks very much - this is the book here amzn.to/31uwR3F
hi guys I know this is a few years old now but any chance you remember the music you used throughout 🙂
shorts! brave lass
Nice vid, north face next time. Its a great scramble
whats the book you got , at the beginning
Britains Highest Mountain Walks - Collins - by Jeremy Ashcroft
Well done lads. ffs
A classic grade 1 scramble one of best in Wales
It was a challenging but memorable day.
just like a little kid "is it home time yet"
Haha! Yea - I was imitating my kids lol
Thật tuyệt vời quá bạn ơi chúc bạn ngày mới thật nhiều niềm vui và hạnh phúc mình rất thích video của bạn
These two will get lost or hurt or both
Nice video lads. We recently climbed up Tryfan too and the weather was not the best. Check our channel for the vlog.
If only you’d of seen the view from adam an eve without the fog ✊🏻
We'll get back there one day!
2:40 Looks like a cheap compass - wouldn't trust my life to anything less than one of the top named brands, or one that says it has a jewelled bearing.
Would you recommend the Suunto M-3 Nh? I'm not sure if it has a jewelled bearing.
@@underabanner This Amazon listing says that the Suunto M3 has a jewelled bearing. One can never be 100 percent sure but I think all Silva and Suunto compasses do www.amazon.co.uk/SUUNTO-M-3-Nh-Compass-Black/dp/B010K8XX5A
