The ascent is much easier now still on a good path as we approach several small lakes and disused mine workings. As we gain height the track becomes much rougher . The path deteriorates further over uneven and boggy ground until we start the main ascent to the summit of Moel Siabod by the south east ridge. There is an obvious path though it is steep, continuous and involves some easy scrambling. It may well be greasy but no exposure. By this route we gain the final 300m ascent to the summit of Moel Siabod at 872m.
On a good day the views over the rest of Snowdonia can be wonderful.
We now descend by an obvious path back towards Capel Curig but stay on the south side of the Afon Llugwy, with an easy stroll through woods and taking in some delightful waterfalls on the way to the car park.
