I wonder how many Sugar Loaf Mountains there are in the world. Here
is another one:-

That's not the Sugar Loaf we climbed in Wales, it was the shape of a
sugar loaf lying on its side and at the top it was sleeting horizontally
Even the sheep had abandoned it.

I know of two in Wales, one with a tunnel for the Heart of Wales line
to go under it, and a railway station named Sugar Loaf just to the
north of the tunnel.

The other one we too have climbed more than once. It is, I think, the
one I linked to but seen from a different angle than from the approach
we climbed which was from the south.

I remember the shape you describe but with a precipitous north side
and a long east-west ridge.

We did not meet your weather but it was windy and cold. The dogs
loved it. One walk was in 1975 my slide catalogue tells me.
