The Devil's Appendix can be seen as a dark area to the right of the gorge on the right (Twll Du)

It is formed where a small stream falls for approximately 305 feet (93 metres) to reach the slopes above Llyn Idwal.[2] Depending on flow and the ambient temperature, it can be either an ice climbing route, a single drop waterfall, or a broken waterfall.[3]
