Bright, dry and warm conditions. Parked in the Llanberis Pass and caught the bus to Pen y Pass. From there took the Miners Path up to Glaslyn. Then onto the scramble Cribau (I) and then onto summit of Snowdon via Watkin Path. Descended via Llanberis Path before moving off to Gryn Las Ridge (I) for the descent pack into the pass.

A good day on lots of steep ground.
