Description

This was a recce for the following week where I was talking my sons and needed to judge whether this route was suitable for their capabilities. Both my sons have been mountaineering with me before to grade 1/2 climbs so exposure was not an issue.
This was the Horse Shoe in reverse ascending Y-Gribin, Yr Wyddfa summit, Crib y Ddsgl and Crib Goch.

Area : Snowdon Massif

Snowdon (Welsh: Yr Wyddfa, pronounced [?? 'w?ðva]) is the highest mountain in Wales, at an altitude of 1,085 metres (3,560 ft) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside Scotland. It is located in Snowdonia National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in Gwynedd, and has been described as "probably the busiest mountain in Britain".[3] It is designated as a national nature reserve for its rare flora and fauna.
