Descrizione dell'itinerario
Snowdon via Crib Goch.
A word of warning, I am no mountaineer, I found the scrambling on this route hard. On that route that day we encountered 3 other parties.
1 was very well prepared and had no problems. Another group of 5 lads got to the Eastern Ridge and a party member had problems, they did not know how to contact Mountain Rescue or even have a clue of where they were, needless to say a RAF Rescue helicopter had to winch them off the mountain. They were on their first walk together and were very badly equipped.
The 3rd couple we met whilst we were heading up Crib y Ddysgl, they were doing the route the opposite way and had no idea of what lay ahead of them. We found out later that they too were escorted down after ringing Mountain Rescue.
Please be careful, there is plenty of information and pictures on the internet of this area.

Crib Goch and the associated climbs up East Ridge and Crib y Ddysgl are Grade 1 scrambles, an amazing experience tottering along a ridge with scary drops each side, but no place to be if you are afraid of heights and do not know what you are doing. Go with someone who has done it before.
