Me leading one other
Weather
Sunny with broken clouds
High temperatures and humidity
Moderate breezes on the tops
Starting from Pen y Pas we instantly followed the pyg to the base of Crib Gogh. Once the ridge was gained the most direct and challenging lines were taken. Once we had reached the summit of Snowdon the clouds came in but the humidity and heat didn't drop. We then finished the horse shoe back to the car park via lliwedd and miners path.
