Thanks a lot for the review. The only problem is that they don’t sell half sizes in shops like Gooutdoors/Blacks etc. I plan to buy them for few long distance trekking, would you recommend them for this kind of activity as well? Many thanks again.

i did the rhyd ddu path when i was 8! absolute killer, it was freezing and on the way down there was a massive snowstorm. i got a hot chocolate at the cafe though, which to an 8 year old is incredible motivation. it took us about six hours to get up and down. it was too windy for me to summit, but my dad climbed to the top and it was so cool! me and my mum are planning to go again later this year, snowdon is totally my favourite mountain in the uk.

Am I correct in thinking there is a train from Caernavon stopping at the bottom of both the Snowdon Ranger path and the Rhydd Dhu Path so one could go up the one and down the other

What would you recommend for the Wainwrights i love scrambling but there's also alot of sharp scree on a the routes at the lakes. Ive just ordered some scarpa similar to yours im hoping the stiffer sole will be more suited to that terrain

I did this almost exactly 10 years ago, with my husband, both in our 50's, but down only. We had a one-way ticket up and hoped to goodness we would be ok coming down. Took us 5 hours and my favourite memory is of being passed about halfway down by two ladies older than us, who looked disdainfully at the two exhausted wrecks leaning on a fence! Glad we did it though, and it was lovely to see it again on your video☺️👍

Oh dear you Will be destroyed by the Welsh nationalist by not giving the correct tithe of that overrun little spot

I was on Snowden (via Pyg track) the last time I and my friends did the Three Peaks Challenge having climbed Ben Nevis and Scafell Pike earlier.

It isn’t called Clanberis. Speak to a local to learn how to pronounce Llanberis.

Can’t wait to do this one I’ve smashed that sub button

Hey Daniel, thanks so much for this great recommendation! My wife and I just made our first ever summit yesterday and did this alternate route back thanks to your video. It was more beautiful than the Llanberis path on the way back and really added a ton to the experience.

oh, the exposure... my brain would just scream. For some reason, over the years I developped a slight freight of heights, maybe it's because I have balance issues (long story), so when I get hundreds of feet of nothing under my butt, it makes me a bit nervous :)

Old trick which does work, pull a pair of woollen socks over your footwear when wet for extra grip on wet rock! I always go for comfort, not the performance touted by the marketing team!!

I've never liked the Llanberis path, it's a tedious trudge. I prefer either the Crib Goch, or Watkin paths.

Met a young couple on this walk in 1989...one of whom now gone ...a fine day ...won't be back .

My mate rhys holds the record for getting up and down y wyddfa in his wheel chair patsy with a small crew.. For the charity "backup" Check them out.. Have a think...

Great review, Daniel!

Have you ever considered using climbing shoes? There so light you could easily carry them in a backpack. I bought my TX4's (on your recommendation) from Go Outdoors. They beat any UK price by 10%; got mine for £128!

Idea... Sell them as "The Famous Bald Scrambler shoes (including old TX4's)" and buy a new pair of TX4's?

One of the most quality UK hiking channel ! Thank you for making these!

My partner and I made it to the summit in reasonable weather I’m 64 she is 48 admittedly we took the train but why make hard work of it 😜👍🏻🇬🇧

This brought back memories..... have done most of the routes, in all weathers, including thick snow and ice. There weren't so many people up there back then as there are now.

Hi Daniel, interesting review. Have you experience of Walsh shoes, really fell running shoes but I have done the 3000,s 3 times, twice in the same pair and even climbed on slate. remarkable grip, close fitting but I have narrow feet. and the bonus is tbey are made in the UK. Also very good price. I dont get up to Snowdonis now more than perhaps once every couple of years but your channel is much enjoyed.

They all slippery on the wet rocks.I broke my knee two years ago in Scotland by wearing La Sportiva tx4

Thanks very much, your review is massively appreciated, would love to hear any and all thoughts on other shoes. Shoe rubber is such a hard thing to judge until you are on the rock, is so frustrating! I find the rock type in Snowdonia really requires good rubber, especially in the wet, so I'd love to hear what does and doesn't work. Years ago I had some Inov-8 trail running shoes I loved cos the rubber was very grippy. I'd feel very clever skipping along Crib Goch edge in shoes that were very performance-enhancing compared to others. But then they changed the rubber in later versions (cheaper I guess) and they were positively dangerous, it was embarrassing. You genuinely couldn't run safely on wet road let alone a mountain! It was like having a soap-bar attached to your foot. I don't know why shoe brands have to change shoes so often, just as soon as you've found a good one they change the design and ruin it...! On a more positive note, thanks for you fantastic channel and website. It has inspired us to try more scrambles, including Sinister gulley which was a great experience 👍

Can you ride this route? At least part way?

The spring footage was fantastic.

Amazing video, thanks for the effort. Quick question though, if the path disappears, how do you know you're going in the right direction?

Good video, clear and well presented 👍

What a great walk with fabulous views on a beautiful day. Thanks for posting.

Fantastic footage. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting a great film showing the Llanberis route. My wife and I did this walk back on June 12th. and had a wonderful time with decent views at the top. We are both in our 60's and not particularly used to hill walking of this level. We managed it without any real problems just taking our time and going slow and steady! One thing I looked for but could not determine was the legendary and scary Crib Goch route which I would never do as I feel it might make me freeze with the dual sheer drops each side! Is it easy to see from the summit? Perhaps you could do a video showing where it is? Having done Scafell Pike a couple of years ago we are thinking of trying to do Ben Nevis in future!

I fell over on Crib Goch...It's a wonder I am still here...

Can you walk from the campsite to the miners track? Any shortcuts? Or better to drive to the pen y pass?

I walked llanberis path 5 years ago hottest day of the year end of july 2019. Views were amazing. A beautiful mountain we would like to do the snowdon Rangers route next.

I used to walk up the Llanberis Path at midnight, to get to Snowdon summit to begin the Welsh 3000s. Always fun scrambling over Crib Goch in the dark !

Did Llanberis path last year. 4 hours up, 4 and a half back in Good weather. Luckily I set off early so didn't have to que up for the summit.

Nice video, thanks! I’ve been up a handful of times but only once using this path, at night...😮 I did it to get a Misty sunrise, which was beautiful. I wish I’d seen this video first.

thanks for. bringing memories back been. up this path. many times with two jack. russsells.. also been up the rhdu ddu too.

Nice route good to see you don’t have to commit and have escape routes

I've rode up Llanberis path 3 times on my MTB bike - it's really not technically difficult

We went up crib goch to the summit then strolled down to Llanberis - we gained ground on a couple arguing on the walk down - as we passed them they asked us, pointing down towards Llanberis ‘ how long will it take to get to Beth Gellert ??? Funniest thing ever when we told them 😂😂😂 This was in sunshine too, so highlights your point about getting it wrong

Probably an unpopular oppinion, but if you are exhausted 10mins into an 8 hour hike you shouldnt be doing it... not up Snowdon anyway

That snow-covered footage is phenomenal.

I have turned back on that path before now due to strong winds and surprise sheet ice at halfway station. There's always another day.

Beautiful drone footage. We were lucky with our hike up the Pyg track a couple of years ago in stunning sunshine with hardly anyone at the summit (until a train arrived 😂). The photos suggest we had the place to ourselves, albeit for about five minutes. Great video 🙏

I always think it's a fraction easier than the Llanberis path as it's a little over half a mile shorter, and there are two 0.5 mile sections of the Llanberis path which are very steep and the ascent for both paths is about the same.

I walked up it a couple of days ago visibility was non existent. I was soaked. Be nice to do it when I can see the wonderful views.

Great video, well shot and informative. Always be prepared and willing to change your plan when in the mountains; sound decision Dan.

Stunning 😍
