Description

Second traverse of Crib Goch. Claggy and windy on the ridge but wind kept a constant speed without gusting so was manageable. Movement was cautious and I took the lead from Bwlch y Moch. Noted a couple at the base of initial scramble to ridge, both looking a lost- she appeared scared. Gently advised it may not be wise to carry on..

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.
