Shapely Yr Elen is a subsidiary summit of Carnedd Llewelyn, Wales' third highest mountain and the highest in the Carneddau. The meeting point of three ridges, its east ridge is particularly fine, rising from wild Cwm Caseg. It's not quite a scramble but has an entertaining airiness, particularly in winter.

Often seen as an outlier of Carnedd Llewelyn, but it is well worthwhile.
