The Crib Goch ridge climb to Mt Snowdon summit is one of the top climbs in the UK and has a fearsome reputation but with good planning most people can climb this safely. So how do I do it?
1. Parking. The climb starts at Pen Y Pass but parking is £20 and pre book only but there’s a £3 park and ride from Nant Peris which takes 5 mins and leaves at 7am 👍
2. Gear. Decent hiking boots, jacket, mobile phone, first aid kit and food/drink are the standard.
3. What to expect? The climb starts off fairly easily to the right hand side (Miners track to the left) on stone steps that make its way up to the junction of Crib. The left trail takes you along the easier Pyg Track and the right carries on up Crib Goch. If the weather is anything but perfect and you aren’t a confident hiker that’s ok with heights and exposure then I’d say take the Pyg Track at this stage amd try Crib another day …. The mountain isn’t going anywhere 😀 But if the weather is nice then carry on to the right.
4. What’s Crib Goch like? It’s like it is in the pictures really…. A knife edge ridge that has sheer drops to each side…. But… in the right conditions it’s fine to make your way across if you are confident with balance and heights. TOP TIP- Walk a metre down the ridge and hold on to the top as a handrail … this gives you a lot more stability.
TBH, the ridge is the east bit in nice weather… it’s the climbs either end of it that are harder in our opinion. Both climbs either end require you to climb sometimes near vertical faces to make your way along the hike. They are impossible or super hard but they do require decision making as to where to place hands and feet. TOP TIP- Take it slow and maybe pair up with someone and make decisions together how to get over the rock faces.
5. How long does it take? If you are a confident hiker then I’d say between 4-5hrs to the summit and back down either Miners or Pyg (Wadkins, Llambarris and Rangers are other options but need a bud to get you back to car) If you aren’t so confident a hiker or just like to go steady then plan to be on the mountain for 6-7 hrs.
6. Enjoy it. 👍🥾⛰️
