Moel Siabod is a mountain in Snowdonia, to the east of Snowdon and south east of the Glyders. It is easily reached from Capel Curig and makes for a great post Welsh 3000s bimble.
There are two routes from Capel Curig: one path leads from Plas y Brenin through pine forests and up the north east ridge; the other leaves the road at Pont Cyfyng and leads to an old slate mine, from here the shorter south east ridge can be climbed, with the option of some easy scrambling. These two routes combined are an enjoyable horseshoe, with views of most of Snowdonia's mountains from the summit.
Alternatively Moel Siabod may be climbed from the village of Dolwyddelan to the south east. Foretry tracks lead to the base of the mountain, where a path follows the outflow of Llyn y Foel to the bottom of the south east ridge.
