Dominating the Ogwen Valley, the rocky summit of Tryfan is unmistakable. A ‘real’ mountain, much admired and respected as it marks the line between hiking and mountaineering and it is one of the most famous mountains in Snowdonia with strong links to Everest. This painting represents the impressive and rugged terrain of the Tryfan mountain in a wintry scene. Its distinctive rocky, blade-like shape dominates the view from every direction and it shows off nothing but steep crags and striking ridges coated in snow.
