Hmmm. Different points of view.
Yes, probably so. I probably get the biggest satisfaction out of travelling through landscape, joining bits of it together in my mind, rather than necessarily staying in one place. I'll admit that I always want to see what's over the next hill. Probably partly why I'm drawn to long distance paths and high mountains (although quiet and space to think are the real draw I think). I'm too restless for long stops!

I much enjoyed the scramble up onto the top rocks of Castell y Gwynt, but Crib Goch still looks horrifically scary. I'm not really much of a thrill-seeker! I want the views without the heart-attack.

It sure felt like the center to me, surrounded by the rest and the best of Snowdonia, and Castell y Gwynt being the center of the center, the Omphalus, it very much blew me away.

But like Gladman says being on the silly mountain might change that point of view, time will tell, were still knitting it all together, slowly. Id like to get through all the front row mountains of this Blessed land, and then some again, only then, I suspect, will the big picture be revealed.
