Melfyn Parry walked up on April 17th, 2022 [from/via/route] Started from the car park in Tanygrisiau, walked up to Llyn Cwmorthin before working our way through the old quarry workings at Rhosydd. Followed well defined path to summit of Moelwyn Mawr, then retraced route back a little before dropping down path to then ascend Craig Ysgafn. Lunch at this spot overlooking the Stwlan reservoir before continuing up to summit of Moelwyn Bach. Retraces steps to saddle & then dropped to path to walk along contour of Moelwyn Mawr before ascending path to Moel yr Hudd. Dropped from here to tarmac path & returned to car park.

Gerald Murphy scaled on March 29th, 2012 [from/via/route] See walk to Moelwyn Mawr & Moelwyn Bach [with] alone - The views across the Stwlan Dam are beautiful. The descent into Bwlch Stwlan is quite steep but it gives a clear view across to the diagonal scree path you need to follow up Moelwyn Bach.
