Mark Davidson walked up on June 3rd, 2010 [from/via/route] Walk ce100 Y Garn (Pumlumon), Pen Pumlumon Fawr (Plynlimon), Pen Pumlumon Llygad-bychan & Pen Pumlumon Arwystli from Nant-y-moch Reservoir [with] Alone [weather] Warm & sunny

Donovan Suddell climbed it on July 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Nant-Y-Moch Reservoir using route no ce100 [with] solo [weather] sunny intervals - ce100 route is fine for ascent, but after reaching Pen Pumlumon Arwystli, I recommend returning to Pen Pumlumon Fawr & descending via Llyn Llygad & parallel to Nant y Llyn. The descent on ce100 is far too boggy.

Bleddyn Rhys bagged it on May 4th, 2019 [from/via/route] O Eisteddfa Gurig, ar hyd i Arwystli ag yn ol, wedyn lawr ac ar draws top y goedwig i'r Garn cyn dod lawr ochor arall i'r lon o'r gronfa ddwr a cerdded allan i Ponterwyd. 4 awr [with] Ar ben fy hyn...
