Hi, I'm trying to locate the slab in the picture below..... (Yes that's a young me)
It's some where near Tryfan or on the way up to Glyder Fach cantilver.

Anyone know of it????
And it there a 1/2 sensible route up there or the cantilever??? lol with a bike 🙂

Looks like 'Tryfan Bach' (little Tryfan) - an obvious slab just to the east of Tryfan itself:

(It's not as steep as it looks - you can walk up it.)

Bit further up from Tryfan Bach I think, around SH 669 588

I think deft has it about right.

One of the slabby outcrops about here, seen when you switch to Satellite/aerial view? https://goo.gl/maps/wiXEmxrhNQsrjRY69

Yeah, the higher up ones looks more "ridable", no ropes or camera tricks were used in the original photo 🙂

God knows how I managed to carry a 23" Raleigh Maverick up there!!!

I'm trying to find the original photos as it will save me having to go back up there...LOL

Now is there a way up to the Cantilever by bike???

Direct up from tryfan would be a nightmare but when I was there last summer I reckoned the ridge east from glydr farw over glydr Fach then east to JB's looked excellent.

You need to talk nicely to @Summittoppler if he’s still around.
