- Enjoyed watching me on Bastow Buttress? Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.c... With the weather being near perfect, I took the opportunity to scramble up Bastow Buttress Variant on Tryfan for only the second time.

Join me as I show you the route and conditions on the day.
This is a grade 2+ scramble so is more challenging and should only be attempted by those with experience at this grade or those who bring along a suitably trained guide. I don't provide the viewer with step-by-step instructions and the passage of time and weather can alter the route and its difficulty.

Amazing share👍👍👍👍👍
Nice route good to see you don’t have to commit and have escape routes
Wow that route looks great!! Always ignored it but want to get up there now. Great videos, sir!! 😊
Thank you for showing the easy approach and where to start.. ive spent too many minutes looking at Topos
I did this as a mock client for some mountain climbing instructor trainees
Always like the way you give a decent description of where your heading. Been up Tryfan a few times but as you are aware it's easy to miss the particular route you want often, until you have done it once or twice. I was last up in May on Heather Terrace doing FPR as a climb. Walked past it once until my instructor pointed out the letters 'FPR'. Doh!
Such a great route! 👌
Enjoyed that Daniel - looked hot!
this is my favourite route on the East Face
Finally did this today. It’s great fun particularly that left rib above the gully. Probably worthy of a Grade 2 + as it seems a little more imposing than some of the others.
Thanks for your guidance on your webpage, Daniel, alongside this very informative video.
Helped a lot.
Tryfan north ridge was like Disney land but then again I did leave it late in the day to go. 😅
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! That's a route I'm keen to do again, probably with a linkup with Notch Arete next time.
@@thebaldscrambler yeah I was short on time. Could do Bastow, Notch Arete, summit Tryfan and complete the Llyn Bochlwyd horseshoe in fairness. That would be a genuine scrambling day out! 🤙🏻
That shot from above of you climbing was well worth the effort which must have gone into making it. I enjoyed watching this video and learned from it.
Thanks it was fun. Just back from a screaming hot 2 days in Snowdonia, crazy that its over 30degrees there.
