Description

I did the Snowdon horseshoe via Crib Goch with a scrambling Meetup group that I'm a member of. I LOVED the scramble up to the Crib Goch ridge, and the scramble after the ridge, but I wasn't too keen on the ridge itself! It was a bit too narrow, and I don't like feeling out of control - I prefer the three points of contact. I took it slowly and wasn't in panic attack mode - just a bit uncomfortable. However the views were magnificent and it was a fantastic day out.

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.
