Rhinog Fawr is the northern of the two main Rhinog summits, in the wild hills between Harlech and Trawsfynydd. It reaches 720m (2362ft) and has 366m of prominence, which makes it a Hewitt, a Nuttall and a Marilyn. Rhinog Fach (712m) is 2.1km to the south-east, and Y Llethr, the nearest higher hill, is 3.3km to the south.
The standard route starts at Cwm Bychan and follows the Roman Steps, a line of stone slabs leading to the pass of Bwlch Tyddiad. From the pass a rough path climbs through heather and boulders to the summit.
The Rhinogydd have some of the roughest ground in Wales, with deep heather, boulders and holes hidden in the vegetation. Allow plenty of time, and expect slow going even on the paths.
