'Garnedd Ugain', also known as 'Crib y Ddysgl', is a mountain in Wales that forms part of the Snowdon Horseshoe. It is the second highest peak in Wales, and lies just over one kilometre north of Snowdon itself.
Both ''Garnedd Ugain'' and ''Crib y Ddysgl'' appear on the Ordnance Survey's maps of the area. The name Crib Y Ddysgl refers to the east ridge ^[1] whilst the summit is Garnedd or Carnedd Ugain.
Crib y Ddysgl (meaning "ridge of the dish" in Welsh) is the name used by Alan Dawson for the peak's listing as a Hewitt.
''Carnedd Ugain'' in Welsh means "Cairn Twenty" (the form ''Garnedd'' is the result of soft mutation). This was named after the Roman legion based in Caernarfon.
