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. From the location of the wording, it would appear that Garnedd Ugain refers to the mountain in general, whilst the summit is named Crib y Ddysgl. 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), but if there is a numbering scheme, it is not reflected in the names of any other hills in the region.
