Overview

Our route wends its way around the lower reaches of Sugar Loaf before a section of valley walking. We then climb to the summit of Crug Mawr before descending to Partishrow. A further steep climb leads to the next ridge and then we head for the summit of Gaer. The route then loses height to reach Stanton before we traverse the lower slopes of Bryn Arw to eventually return to the cars. The ascent is a little over 3,000 feet.
