Crib Goch

I think Crib Goch is a great way up if you want something that will provide a bit more of a challenge. It can be a bit hairy in wet, icy or windy conditions, but so long a you have a bit of a head for heights it's great. A walk you can't do with your hands in your pockets!

Given all the horror stories I'd heard about Crib Goch, I was pleasantly surprised by it. Despite not being a great fan of heights, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had expected. Okay, so I used my hands most of the way along, but then the terrain allows for this. Having done it several times now, I wouldn't consider doing it in anything other than glorious sunshine. Not a place to be on a wet, snowy, icy or low visabilty day unless you know what you are doing.

Cracking hill, Went back there last september with a friend who had'nt walked it before. He got a bit ahead of me as i kept stopping to take pictures. I caught up with him at Bwlch Goch and he asked me where the scary knife edge was??. It was a clear day and when i told him he'd just walked over it he did'nt seem that impressed.

the answer to that question is most definately YES.my one trip to this ridge was the most exhilerating experience of my life.but people wanting to climb this ridge should be aware off the dangers.it is very exposed , the drops are huge ,in bad weather it should be avoided,but given agood forecast and an early start,a sensible attitude and the ability to pick ones way across it can be a superb day.but remember donot be afraid to turn back if the weather turns or one of your party does not feel confident.ENJOY!!
