Nice walk and pics LJ
Have done Eigiau to Llewelyn a few times, but not the full route like your hike.
Enjoy doing the loop round the top of Craig Eigiau down the steep slope at the head of the valley, and back out past Llyn Eigiau.
Can get very boggy and muddy at this time of year though.
To many mountains, not enough time.

Sticks in my mind even though it was over half a century ago - partly because I was on my own I suppose, wondering what had happened to the rest of the group. Amazing to see the whole of Snowdonia under a deep blanket of snow, glinting in the moonlight.  I think I got back to Williams farm at the same time people were getting back from the pub.

I think you mean Amphitheatre Buttress.



Highly recommended

Perhaps worth adding that the main Carneddau ridge north of Llewellyn is broad and safe in snow conditions, much better choice than say Snowdon for winter conditions.

Another thumbs up for the TR and photos here too.  O0  The one of the view from Gledffordd is stunning.
