A wonderful route climbing the highest mountain in Wales, taking in the infamous Crib Goch ridge, the fine narrow ridge above Pen-y-pass.

From the Pen-y-Pass we will climb the start of the PYG track, turning off the over used path at Bwlch y Moch and climbing onto the Crib Goch ridge.
We will traverse the Crib Goch ridge from east to west and climb to the summit of Garnedd Ugain from where an easy path will take us around the crest of the ridge above Glasslyn to the summit of Snowdon and the modern summit cafe.
From the summit of Snowdon we will descend to the south east, descending above Llyn Llydaw to the twin summits of Y Lliwedd, following this fine ridge as it curves to the north and descends to the shores of Llyn Llydaw and the Miners Track back to the Pen-y-pass.
Weather conditions on Snowdon can vary drastically from day to day and Crib Goch is an exposed route, should a crossing of the ridge not be appropriate for the conditions on the day your instructor will adjust the route to suit.
Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.
