Snowdon - Up Ranger path from YHA and onto Snowdon. Descended via South Ridge and Rhdd Ddu Path to Rhdd Ddu and back to YHA. Gethin, Andy, Miles, Me, James. Snow from 600m. Didn't use crampons. Lots of very poorly equipped people. Saw about 50-60 people. Only 3 others with axe. Low vis from 900m. Assisted James down S. Ridge as nervous in Snowy descent.
Me, Gav, Anna, Miles, Gethin, James, Anna`s Dad.
Up Ranger path from YHA, as we met the Llanberis track, here the snow started but the view cleared and the walk to the summit was stunning. Whilst posing for photos on the summit Cairn someone pushed passed us and knocked Gethin off the cairn down the rocky crags towards the cafe side. Fortunately without injury. We descended down the south ridge, where the wind got up and the cloud came down. Conditions underfoot were a bit crap, a covering of slushy snow over frozen ground which made everything a bit slippy. Descended via queries and back along train tracks to YHA.
