Crib Goch
Anyone done this Snowdon route around this time of year?
Doing Snowdon next weekend. But wondering if anyone had done Crib Goch outside of summer? Meant to snow Thursday so suspect that may make the decision for us anyway...

Re: Crib Goch
I have done it, only once thou, it’s certainly a nerve test, it makes striding edge look like a walk in the park, on at least one occasion I was on my hands and knees, but last year when I visited Everest base camp I did doubt my sanity

Re: Crib Goch
I went up a couple of years ago but conditions weren't great and I only had trainers on. So made the sensible decision to drop down before the 'point of no return'. Only problem was my mates had already got past that bit. So I walked down to the bottom, started again and up the Pyg Track. I got to the top. None of my mates to be seen. Was convinced they had either managed to find their way down... or fell!lifelongclaret wrote:I have done it, only once thou, it’s certainly a nerve test, it makes striding edge look like a walk in the park, on at least one occasion I was on my hands and knees, but last year when I visited Everest base camp I did doubt my sanity
2 hours later they made it to the top just as I was about to send the search party
Thinking it may be a bit too wet / windy this weekend at this time of year?

Re: Crib Goch
I've done it several times with one of the worst - in terms of conditions - in the middle of Summer when it was misty, windy, wet and very cold. Luckily we were prepared and in full battle-gear and, on hands and knees across the edge, got away with it.
When you're making your decision, if there's any doubt whatsoever, please don't do it.

Re: Crib Goch
I've done Crib Goch many moons ago and then across the narrow ridge onto Snowdon. It's not at all easy and was very misty when I was up there. The Army were actually coming down and advised us against carrying on, but we ignored them and carried on as what do they know?

Come down anyway. If the weather's too much you could always go up mynydd mawr or traverse the Nantlle ridge.

Re: Crib Goch
I've been up Crib Goch in all types of weather with the worst experience being in summer when the clouds suddenly dropped and it rained so hard it was almost impossible to see anything.( I wear glasses which didn't help). What made it worse was being behind a group who were dressed more for a stroll in the park than attempting one of the most difficult walks in Snowdonia. That experience was far worse than in winter when everyone was properly equipped.
The weather can change in an instant - and frequently does in that part of the world so everyone should be properly and adequately equipped unless you want to possibly become a mountain rescue statistic. If in doubt don't set off!

Yes, done it a couple of times. Worst was once came off the top and down Crib. Got to the really hairy bit and it started to thunder and lightning. Lightning crashing all around me. Absolutely sh@t myself. Good luck you'll be right.

Snowdon was clear and calm.
Sca fell horrendous. Couldnt see your hand in front of your face and nearly walked off the edge.

Re: Crib Goch
It's fine in the depths of winter. Rope up and take it easy. take decent gear and crampons/axes. Overkill maybe but better safe.

Re: Crib Goch
I’ve summitted Snowdon 5 times, from 3 different directions, but never done Crib Goch. Never had a view from the summit either.
To anyone who knows, is it easier or harder than Glencoes Aonach Eagach?

Both are technical in places. I wouldn't say one is more difficult than the other. Aonach Eagach from memory was much longer though.Tricky Trevor wrote:I’ve summitted Snowdon 5 times, from 3 different directions, but never done Crib Goch. Never had a view from the summit either.

Snowden was horizontal sleet/hail and it was early summer I think.

Re: Crib Goch
I did Crib Goch in March or April a few years ago as a practice for the Welsh 3000 in about June time. Thought I was going to die.
Weather wasn't that bad at the car park but the mountains were in the clouds. When we got into the clouds the wind was really howling and it was sleeting/snowing. We had walking gear on but not crampons/ropes etc, it's pretty difficult in places especially when you can't see too far and your little grippy grassy footholds are full of snow and slippy. The edges felt really steep and you couldn't see the bottom through the cloud (which was probably a good thing). Two or three times I lost grip and thought I was gone, it was ******* terrifying.
There was a group of about 10 of us, half were experienced and did a lot of climbing, it wasn't too bad for them. I was in the less experienced group and we were all pretty petrified by it.
Went back in June in good weather and it was great, challenging in bits but not too dangerous so you could enjoy it, views were brilliant.
If the weather's good then no worries, but I'd be nowhere near it in bad weather again, way too dangerous. Just do pyg run instead, or tryfan or glyder fach, amazing up there (although they could be terrible in bad weather too!)

Tryfan is a top day out. The Cannon, Adam & Eve summit, the Cantilever.
The last time I did we sat eating lunch with jets out of RAF Valley shooting through the Ogwen Valley below us.

What you can expect
What you can expect
Look forward to walking through the prettiest scenery along the 'Way of St James' as you follow the final stretch across the undulating Galician countryside. Walks each day will range between 20 and 30 kilometres over varied terrain with some steep up or downhill sections, therefore a good level of fitness is essential.
Well-marked trails
In the countryside, you’ll be following broad, packed-earth paths that are well sign posted, while in the villages and towns, the pavements are generally painted to show the way. This means you are free to set your own pace if you desire, taking time to enjoy the passing scenery or stopping for lunch or to explore for as long as you like in the village or towns en route, without the worry of keeping pace with the rest of the group.
We’ll take care of your luggage
You will require a light day back pack, to store water and any other items you wish to carry, such as a camera, waterproofs and sunscreen. You don’t have to worry about carrying your travel luggage though as this will transported between hotels by road each day for you.
Your ‘Camino’ passport and certificate
We will provide you with your pilgrimage passport although it is up to you to get it stamped at the various churches and official checkpoints along the way – your walking guide will advise you when and where you need to do this each day. The guide will also share fascinating insights about the 'Way of St James' throughout your walking tour with you.
Your accommodation
During your walking tour, you’ll stay at small and friendly local establishments that specialise in accommodating pilgrims following ‘The way of St James’. These small, relatively simple hotels offer the best accommodation available for walking groups en route, with a good standard of furnishings and all offer en suite bathrooms with showers.

Re: Crib Goch
Text from the chap i know who guides up there.
So, there is deep snow at the top of Snowdon now and it's down as far as about 600m. However, the weather is really warning up again for the weekend and it will probably be slush by Saturday. In short, I think you'll need to assess the conditions when you arrive. The Crib might well be ok, freezing levels should be way above the summit but the weather is so changeable at the moment I think you'll just have to go with the flow.
Looks like Snowdon may be a bit pointless. As done it plenty of times and best thing is the view...

Dogs on Crib Goch
Been looking at doing the horse shoe including Crib Coch when the weather warms up some, I take my sprocker spaniel out walking but wondered if it’s a bad idea with the length of the scramble?
He’s been up Scarfell via the circular route (and off the paths across the big boulder fields on top) and 3 Yorkshire peaks.
