Description: Crags on summit of Mynydd Graig Goch. Mynydd Graig Goch is situated at the western end of the Nantlle Ridge, though many walkers do not venture beyond Garnedd-goch which can be seen in the background. The summit of Snowdon is just visible between the rocky crags. In September 2008, this summit made national news after three walkers surveyed it after suspecting it was really just over 2000 feet and therefore officially classified as a mountain. Their survey has been recognised by Ordnance Survey thus bringing the total of mountains in Wales to 190. Maybe now it has been elevated to mountain status it will attract more walkers to its rocky summit.
