Tryfan is one of the most iconic mountains in the UK, certainly in Wales. It just looks like a mountain from every direction, without a single easy approach available! At 917m high, it’s just one of the main 15 Peaks, and when recently re-measured it was feared it would lose that status. Thankfully, they discovered it was slightly higher than first thought. The summit of Tryfan is dominated by the twin obelisks of Adam and Eve, with the perilous leap from one to the other granting the ‘freedom of Tryfan’ .

Why is it called Tryfan It’s basically Tri Faen – which is Welsh for three rocks or stones, a reference to the three rocky summits that are clear from some angles.
