Adventure/landscape photographer and mountain leader based in North Wales. I spend most of my time climbing the mountains of Snowdonia.
Scrambling and camping on the Glyderau.
A scramble up Bristly ridge followed by a camp just below the summit of Glyder Fach.
The recent run of good weather has made for some amazing scrambling and climbing conditions in the mountains of Snowdonia/Eryri.

Mate were you up Bristly Ridge today? Think we saw you and followed you up.
Loved this video ❤
Great video , could you recommend me any decent crampons please or what you used in the video. Thank you
hey what bail do you use for the front of your crampons? I assume not standard petzl by the looks of them? Cheers - Sam
Hey! It's a black diamond toe bail. I think it's the narrow one. The petzl bails are crap for most boots, in my opinion!
@@eilir30 Thought so! Yeah agreed the petzl ones are not great. I've been on the hunt for some BD narrow ones for ages! Can't seem to find them anywhere. Well thanks for that, will keep looking!:)
A really good video that lets the mountain talk for itself
Great drone work and a smashing wee video. 👏 😊
South gullies been on my wish list for ages, great vid 👍
All so very impressive to complete in winter, and while filming for a utube video as well. Congratulations. Thx for posting. JMO.
You really should do more videos
Nice video! Love these save-ish easy gullies climbs in good spring conditions🙂
"All the difficulties are easily bypassed". Except for that unavoidable catwalk. Oh yes, and in the case of the crux up there, the route involves following a narrow ledge on the side of a vertical cliff, then ascending a vertical wall. Those wishing to bypass this difficulty can follow the ledge for a bit then take advantage of gravity by plummeting to their death.
What's not to like? Nothing if you're watching it on UA-cam. But if you're doing it yourself, well, there's a long list of things - like gravity, vertigo, dew, wet moss, exhaustion, sunburn, blisters, snake bites and the lack of a decent tunnel linking Nefyn to the 21st century, forcing you to ascend some of the world's steepest hills!
What shoes do you use ? Nerves of steel as well.
Thanks
I subed
Grind bro❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
what a view
absolutely stunning drone footage!! thanks for posting.
I absolutely love your videos, the drone footage is incredible. What drone are you using for this?
thanks! The drone I have is the DJI mavic 2 pro.
Stunning captures as always Eilir
cheers!
Awesome video!
Stunning sunrise and drone footage. 👍👌
Cheers! Sunrise was very good 👍
Great views and video
Thanks!
Great video, and love the drone footage 😍. As for ticks, don’t get me started, what is it with them in Snowdonia at the moment? I’ve come back with at least one stuck to me the last twice I’ve visited 😡
Cheers! Yeah they seem to be out in force this year. This was actually the first time I've been out in the hills and seen them on me
Did this route with a mate today - loved every minute of it - thanks for the recommendation
It's brilliant isn't it?!
Fantastic!
Lovely part of the world. Been up Stob Ban a few times, but never up the south gully
Great to see your videos again 👍🏻
Fabulous film great route tour and an epic climb (great effort 🤠👍) Definitely earned a sub654 🤝👍 All The Best Simon 👍
Amazing video I'm off to Wales to wild camping with my 9 Yr old boy fingers crossed I can find a spot on Glyder Fawr like that stunning thank you
wonderful coastline 💙
There seems to be very little information available about this scramble, or at least there wasn't when I was climbing! My old mountaineering club used to do it every year back in the day. An enjoyable video :)
yeah it's a great little scramble in a very out of the way area! If you fancy it some day pop me a message and I'll join you for it!
cool music to accompany the video
awesome footage, epic drone footage. I will be walking this trail in May. What is it like to fly a drone. You need some permission. I'm asking because I'm not from the UK. Regards
Not sure if I met you on the T10 bus the other day? If it was you, we were talking about the Llech Ddu Spur route on Carnedd Dafydd
What’s the deal with flying drones in crib goch?
You can fly drones where ever there's not restricted air space, that's usually airports, prisons, that sort of thing. I think there's an app that shows the areas on maps where you can and can't fly them
Thanks for the video. I'm heading there in 2 weeks time
I was in this area 2 weeks ago getting some QMDs and doing my ML training. It was great seeing the familiar scenery covered in snow
Does snowy days count as QMDs for the summer mountain leader assessment?
More videos needed soon good sir.
Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting. We've only done it in the summer but would like to progress to full winter conditions in time.
Hi Eilir - great video! I'm working on a documentary series for the BBC which aims to celebrate the incredible work of volunteer mountain rescue teams and the other emergency services working across Snowdonia. It would be great to speak to you about your video re using it in the series, could you leave a comment with your email? Thanks / Diolch, Pippa
Hi Pippa, feel free to pop me an email: Eiliradventurephotography@hotmail.com cheers!
Awesome vid! 👍👍👍👍👍
Cool video👍👍👍👍👍
Hi mate, great vid with drone, best footage I’ve seen yet. Which way did you come down as it ended there? Thanks andy
Silly question, how close is this to snowdon?
A couple of miles. Llyn Bochlwyd is just below Glyder Fach.
You need to do some more videos soon z
Awesome !
Quality evening!
Nice video. What camera did you use?
Great video guys & well done. I've done striding edge but not the crib 👍
