Pen yr Ole Wen is the seventh highest mountain in Snowdonia and in Wales. It is the most southerly of the Carneddau range. The mountain lies to the north of Idwal Cottage youth hostel on the A5 road, from where it has a pyramidal appearance. It may be climbed from the hostel by a path that leads directly up the south west "corner", climbing 675 m in about 1.5 km (i.e. an average gradient of nearly 1 in 2). A slightly easier ascent involves starting from Tal-y-Llyn Ogwen, about a mile north-east from the hostel, following the stream until nearing the outflow from the mountain lake Ffynnon Lloer and then branching left to take the path up the ridge.

Auf dem Gipfel beträgt die mittlere Jahreslufttemperatur 5 °C. Der Gipfel ist ein beliebtes und ambitioniertes Ausflugsziel. Die kürzeste Strecke beginnt im Süden an der Jugendherberge, die an der unterhalb des Berges auf ca. 300 m Höhe vorbeiführenden A 5 liegt. Bei diesem Weg ist eine Steigung von 100 Prozent (1:2) zu bewältigen. Wesentlich länger und landschaftlich reizvoller sind entweder die von Norden kommende Gipfelroute, die auf ca. 740 m Höhe beginnt und auch über die Gipfel Drum, Foel Fras, Garnedd Uchaf, Foel Grach, und Foel Meirch führt oder die östlich um die Seen Ffynnon Lloer und Ffynnon Llugwy herum führende Route.

  • Pen yr Ole Wen is the seventh highest mountain in Snowdonia and in Wales. It is the most southerly of the Carneddau range. The mountain lies to the north of Idwal Cottage youth hostel on the A5 road, from where it has a pyramidal appearance. It may be climbed from the hostel by a path that leads directly up the south west "corner", climbing 675 m in about 1.5 km (i.e. an average gradient of nearly 1 in 2). A slightly easier ascent involves starting from Tal-y-Llyn Ogwen, about a mile north-east from the hostel, following the stream until nearing the outflow from the mountain lake Ffynnon Lloer and then branching left to take the path up the ridge. For many years the mountain's name was translated as "Head of the White Light", the interpretation of which was a mystery. However in 2004 Professor Hywel Wyn Owen at the Place-Name Research Centre at Bangor University in Bangor, Gwynedd resolved the matter saying that Ole comes from Goleddf, which means slope or hillside, making the correct English translation: "Head of the White Slope". Pen yr Ole Wen is often climbed as part of a longer route on the Carneddau range. It is the same height as England's highest peak, Scafell Pike. The mountain's average temperature hovers around 5 degrees Celsius. (en)
