Exploring the Mountain
The western side of Mynydd Drws-y-Coed is very rocky and open to the air. To reach the top, you might need to do some scrambling. Scrambling is like climbing using both your hands and feet, but it's not as difficult as rock climbing.
Some parts of the path are very exposed, meaning there's not much cover and you can see a long way down. Because of this, it's good to be comfortable with heights if you plan to explore this area.
