For two years, I waited for a precise alignment of pressure, wind, and humidity. When the window finally opened, I hauled my gear up 805 metres to Y Foel Goch in the Glyderau. The result? A heart-pounding ascent through thick fog that broke into a silent, brilliant white ocean of cloud, with Tryfan rising like an island from the mist. This wasn't just a lucky hike; it was the culmination of decades of studying mountain weather and a testament to persistence.

After three failed attempts to capture Tryfan at night, I headed back up Pen yr Ole Wen for a two-day solo winter mission. The conditions were "favourable"—meaning snow flurries, gusty winds, and freezing temperatures. From getting held up by a baby goat on the ascent to cooking steaks in a snow-dug kitchen, this trip was about patience and persistence. The result? An 18-hour timelapse of the Ogwen Valley and the final capture of the "Tryfan at Night" print.
