I did this route for my first ever roped climb last year. It remains one of the highlights of my life.

Wonderful, perfect, winter conditions with absolutely beautiful scenery and views. A great very enjoyable short film. Thanks for posting.

That's cinched it. Im buying an ice axe and crampons. Been scrambling a lot recently in North Wales and am anxious to experience the winter conditions there.

I respect and admire all your rock climbing viewers and your awesome videos. However, I simply couldn't do this as it scares me just watching - woh! that exposure dazzles me too much 😅 Thanks again.

What an excellent and well produced guide! Thank you!!

Just getting into scrambling with a mate. Trying to figure out what grade we're at and how to get better. I think we're at about grade 1, any tips on how to get better?

Hi Paul I was wondering why do you carry the extra weight of a rope ! if it just you climbing! Who will be holding the other end?

Such an amazing day. I would love to see a montage with epic music in the background of your hike. It's stunning!

very nice. Have you climbed Howling Ridge on Carrantuohill in Co. Kerry, Ireland? It is a lovely grade 3/4 scramble. Similar in places.

Overlay music just too loud relative to the speech. The route and scenery is all the noise you need. Extremely enjoyable otherwise. Thanks

سيد بول فيديو رائع أعجبني جدا أين هذا المكان بالضبط ؟

Risky enough in the dry. But in the wet or in the snow it's extremely risky.

Well said… I’m heading to Tryfan this weekend and will be making a donation before I go 👍🏼

Beautifully Done!! Mad respect. All the best from the States!!

I'm looking to do this in Late May, coming from the US though. Know anywhere that would rent me gear? And/Or anyone who would be down to go?

Can you say what type of gear you had on your feet? I am an American, but I have a son studying over in Ireland. He hikes a lot and I am a little worried he will contemplate going over to Wales to hike this, probably not in Winter, but still. I have watched many of your videos and wonder at how you have developed a mind that trusts your feet and hands in situations with a great deal of exposure. I look forward to your future videos.

Thank you! Amazing commentary and camera angles

So great to see the horseshoe in superb conditions which magnifies the scale of the range. Easy to see why Tenzing, when accompanying Hilary and Charles Evans on a similar day asked where the camps were going to be on the traverse. Also it is a refreshing change to see a capable and knowledgeable mountaineer who fully appreciates the requirements both in capabilities as well as gear for these conditions. Lastly, it is great to hear the correct pronunciations of Crib Goch, Crib yr Ddysgl, Garnedd Ugain and Yr Wyddfa . Fideo ardderchog

Maybe I am just a clueless American, but from 5:18 on it appears as if you have switched from scrambling (class 4) to actual climbing (grade 5)? Tell me why I am wrong.

We need this man to post more vidoes! This is awesome. I’ve done crib in the summer and planning to tackle it and CMD in the winter next season.

Hey. I reconised you on the ogwen mountain rescue show! Thanks for documenring so many great routes

What a beautiful day!

Echo all comments about GREAT video quality! I was jelly legs enough to crawl along this ridge in two successive summers, a winter crossing like yours is unimaginable! Great demonstration that proper kit is required. I’ve used an ice axe only once - for a tarp descent of Mt St Helens in WA. USA!

Thanks for being brave and showing me Snowdon's amazing scenery and views in the winter, but the slightly higher views I would not attempt never mind ever see. Heights are not my strong point and you did it in the winter!! wow😯

best video of crib goch imo

Absolutely loved this video. Great production quality. I've subbed! My first visit to CG I had to turn back just before the top of the ridge as rain and wind was brutal! Never seen weather turn so quickly. I've been itching to go back ever since but these videos will do for now :)

Awesome!

Really outstanding video. Love the combination of amazing scenery, running commentary & technical advice on equipment and skills throughout.

Damn, 2.7k subs, but quality of a 100,000+ subs. Inspiring dude, can't wait to get out into the Munros this winter, if I get aday half as good as this, I'll be happy! Great advice and presentation. Felt like a quality TV programme.

Excellent videography

American 3rd class / 4th class for the less experienced . So might call it low 5th class

I understand the need for map/compass skills but almost everyone depends on their GPS these days.

Thank you for sharing… this brings an old man fond memories . Completing these routes in my younger days. Absolutely beautiful 👏👏

Fantastic made video and I would say it arguably ‘looks’ safer in this weather - but clearly it is not for the ill prepared any time of year

Great video, very proffesional. I love Snowdonia (from a safe distance) and enjoyed joining you on your walk across Crib Goch. A couple of years ago I was talking to a member of the Llanberis mountain rescue team who told me in great detail about the dangers involved and the consequencies of getting it wrong along that knife edge, I personally would only venture up there by helicopter, or hover trousers perhaps. Thanks for the video.

Great video to watch while i was curled up warm in bed 🙂 Thanks..

It’s a beautiful climb for sure. Nicely made film dude.

Great video and nicely led, the rope running over the arete made me a little nervous. The rock looked amazing, was it polished?

Wow, amazing footage! And perfect weather conditions 👌

Can you match the music and talking volume it’s a pain for head phone users

Well done very narrated , you made it look easy. I have seen one video on you tube which showed the total opposite of how dangerous this ridge can be to the ill prepared.

was on it today some seriously big loose flakes on the pitch after you leave the ledge, would definitely avoid using these at all costs, you can actually see the difference in colour where one has detached that is actually tere in your video which is an awesome watch fella. Would definitely take a rope and bit of gear unless competent and experienced on this kind of terrain, give you that little room for margin of error should you need it or go off route, that said the route finding on this scramble is obvious enough!

Beautiful conditions and some stunning footage. Really enjoyed watching it.

What’s the music?

What a fantastic, gorgeous video! I remember doing the route on a number of occasions in my earlier years including a couple of times in winter conditions but none as good as these. Unfortunately, my health and mobility are such that I can only dream of doing the route but I’ll put this video at the top of my playlist to watch time and time again. Thank you.

Completed last Sunday. Great weather but windy. Really spectacular scramble.

Watched many a video about the Crib Goch traverse. Most are ok and some are pretty awful. This is exceptional. Well made, very informative, good advice re: gear, prep and decision making. So pleased to see someone carrying and using a walker's ice axe correctly. At the risk of sounding pompous or pious; so many folks who make these videos seem to lack the most basic mountaineering skills. Thanks for a great video. Phil

This looks like my kind of scramble, and good to see you aren't obsessed with protecting the route like some of your KZbin colleagues...

Some video 👌

This is class,well done
