Finding the summit

Surveyor's note

Geograph spot height implies rock outcrop is 3m higher than cairn 190m SSW at SH 65384 32784.

The recorded summit point is rock outcrop. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Which hill this one belongs to

Clip is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Moel Ysgyfarnogod (623 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 564 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
