Brutal Weather Mountain Camping on Glyder Fawr | Gale Force Wind, Heavy Rain & Hail! MSR Hubba NX

I made my way up the Devils Kitchen from Llyn Idwal in beautiful weather, although there had been so much rain in the days before that the route had turned into mini waterfalls in places! This route up is a really fun scramble, but the slipperiness made it precarious
I made camp up at 700m on Glyder Fawr, close to Llyn y Cwn. I saw the stars & milky way before the weather turned. The winds actually got over 60mph gale-force gusts, although I didn’t know this at the time. I was sheltered by the rock buttress behind my tent at camp, but you can see how my tent still takes a battering. Without the shelter of the rock buttress it would have been pretty hairy indeed and may have been a pole-breaker
The next morning I made my way up to the 1000m summit in the crazy wind, rain & hail. The last 300m is a gentle ascent so there's nothing to get blown off of. Unsurprisingly I had the mountain to myself and didn’t see another person until I’d descended back down to Llyn Idwal. The weather continued to worsen as I made my way back to my car
Apart from the unfortunate wrecking of my filming gear again, I loved this lil trip and I’m super excited for more wintery weather & scenery :D
