Description

Started at Blaen-y-Nant, then up Cwm Glass towards Craig y Rhaedar. Avoided very wet and seeping gully to Llyn Glas (heavy rains the previous 2 days) and instead circumvented crags on 'fox path' to reach bottom of North Ridge of Crib Goch from the south. Scrambled up the North Ridge (grade 1) and then did the classic East Ridge to Carnedd Ugain. Returned back down the Pyg Track. At Bwlch y Moch cut across NNW back to Blaen-y-Nant
I led someone who hadn't experienced that level of exposure before and needed considerable support and encouragement.

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.
