Ascent of Moel Siabod on 9th September 2009 (with group of Sheffield Ramblers)

View from Pont Cyfyng (looking south west) at Moel Siabod
 
Afon Llugy - river to north of Moel Siabod
 
 
 
 
 
 
Lower lake - not named
Disused quarry workings in sight
Ascending south west
 
Lower lake behind
 
Water filled pit - presumably slate was also extracted from this.
 
 
 
Upper Lake - Llyn y Foel
 
 
Swampy area to west of lake to be crossed or avoided by moving closer to a path on the bottom of the mountain slope
Llyn y Foel in view before turning west for further ascent
 
To west Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) 1085m in centre, Crib y Ddysgl 1065m to right with Crib Goch 921m on ridge below to right.
Possibly Trylan 915m to north west? 6 of us walked from Lake 'Llyn Ogwen' around Trylan the previous day in atrocious windy and rainy conditions - impossible to take photographs.
Looking down to the two lakes passed when ascending

Post climb - photo taken the next day of Moel Siabod  (towards NW) from Castle near Dolwyddelan. We ascended the last 330m mainly from this side
