Snowdonia part II

Here's some highlights from the second day at Snowdonia. I went out with 4 fellow hill walkers to summit Glyder Fach (3,261 ft) and Glyder Fawr (3,277 ft). We passed Llyn Bochlwyd (a pond... nothing spectacular but it's fun to use the Welsh words) over to the ridges leading to the summit. This hike involved less scrambling, but more scree. Still steep though! We topped "Big Mound" and "Small Mound" in a considerably dryer state than Tryfan's previous summit. Only clouds this time. To get back down we carefully descended into Devil's Kitchen which was an impressive waterfall/sheep/jagged rock/cliff covered formation.
Saddle area with sheep retaining wall.
The Cantilever Rock. I'm at the end looking over the edge.
The rocks in the area reminded me of jagged ice the comes out of wet soil
