The mountain has a dramatic morphology: with two aretes, dark glacial cwms and rocky character. There are views of Snowdonia, with Mynydd Mawr, Yr Wyddfa and Moel Hebog being close neighbours. The peak also has 3 other tops, which all in all form a rocky and relatively narrow part of the Nantlle ridge.
