Steep west-facing cliffs fall from this 695 m peak at the eastern end of the Nantlle Ridge, a subsidiary summit of Trum y Ddysgl just 0.4 km away. The summit is the highest point on a thin ridge, and the west side is very rocky and airy: some scrambling is needed, along with a good head for heights on the exposed sections. The top itself is grass, with no marker.
