Climbing Crib Goch Snowdon Solo | Mental Health Awareness

Crib Goch is one of 8 routes up to the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales at 1,085m. The route has been described as "one of the finest ridge walks in Britain", but it is not for the fainthearted.
In this video I take on Crib Goch for the first time, solo, in the cloud and mist. It was a challenging experience on more than one level as I fought to deal with my mental health on the way. But in truth, it was a groundbreaking experience. I had the skills and abilities to more than comfortably see myself over the ridge, and in the process, I learnt some powerful life lessons.
If you have been inspired to take on Crib Goch, please ensure you are adequately kitted out (and know how to use that gear), have previous experience on steep and rocky terrain, and checked the weather forecast before you go to ensure safe conditions.

Terrifying, and completely foolish

[@mattm8765]

@@MKRM27 Certainly for someone not used to climbing like this but based on the video and all her other videos of her doing the same thing she seems very capable and aware of her surroundings and the constant risks. Foolish would be copying her without the right prep and years of experience.

Respect! You captured brilliantly the exposure on Crib Goch - and to do it with a camera in your hand and then repeat sections. Just awesome.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@johnalden5821]

I have to echo and agree with you comment. This was one of Abbie's finest films, from both a content and a production standpoint. Wow. I noticed also that she actually posted the camera and then WENT BACK to get the shot of her walking. That made my head spin.

[@maheshsponpanal3410]

Absolutely agree with you . There are no videos in here showing the steepness of Crib Goch like this. What a wonderful job ..

[@donnabullock2066]

We are in awe of your strength, resilience, determination and attitude. Well done. We are an older couple from Australia who have walked 10 of your national trails, and climbed all the 2,000 ft and above in England and Wales - except Pillar Rock in the Lake District. That was beyond me. We are homing in on 70 years old, so have to be careful. I hate that this Covid virus has stopped our annual travel to the UK and beyond - but we must all be patient. You have allowed us to walk and climb with you. Thank you so much. You are fast becoming a 'legend'. Love from D &D , Victoria, Australia XX

[@hikingwiththeshackletons]

Doing that with someone else is one thing, but doing it alone in such harsh conditions is something truly special, you young lady are a true inspiration. Keep telling yourself exactly what you were saying up there “one breath & one step at a time” I had a tear in my eye when you were getting emotional. Lots of love The Shackletons. ❤️❤️

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Thank you!!

[@MKRM27]

It really doesn’t make it a greater achievement doing it in those conditions, in your own. It actually makes it foolish, not special.

[@elizabethchapman9523]

Have you walked it? It maybe foolish to you, but I admire her for doing it!!! It maybe not be up to everyones taste and certainly not mine, but you should not criticise and your comment " not special " is not very tactful is it? Each to their own.

[@derekfarnan9735]

Abbie, there are so many people who are incredibly talented, yet make nothing of it. They have become used to relying on their talents, which prevents them from ever accomplishing greatness. Only those who are willing to use their talents in order to pursue greatness will ever accomplish truly outstanding things in life. you have shown this in you ability and I for one salute you `Inspiring you are

Kudos for that walk - I was getting vertigo just watching the video! 👏👏👏

[@elizabethchapman9523]

Me too.

[@thewanderingforester]

I've done Crib Goch a few times and have been finding it more and more sketchy as I've got older. Last time I definitely didn't get any points for style, winds were stronger than forecast! It's not a trivial undertaking at all and you've done fantastically well to film it as well as you have. Stay Strong and ATB.

[@elizabethchapman9523]

I admire you and several times too. Not for me, but I "take my hat of "to anyone who has walked and clambered across Crib Goch. It feels me with horror lol. Even gave me vertigo watching Abbie walk it lol.

[@ashmaybe9634]

How you manage to film while scrambling (with two cameras!) and deal with your head is incredible. I suffer from poor mental health also, and the mountains help me also, and I know what its like to turn around or never even leave the house because my head is bad. But when it goes right, it's a major win. Thank you. Never stop.

[@matthewganley5951]

My hands were sweating watching this. Definitely a challenge for 2022

[@fionam7087]

Watched this while on holiday in north wales last night and felt totally inspired by you. Decided to take on the Watkin Path - at the current limit for me as I’m terrified of heights. When I felt my nerve slipping I repeated some positive words to tell myself that I could do it, as I had seen you do. Honestly got me through it. Amazing day, thank you so much.

[@JP-lk2qs]

Abbie,can’t believe how amazing your experience was and how much bravado you showed tackling one of the toughest ridges in the country.I have been thinking of doing it over few last years but keep putting it off as it looks daunting to me.Your video has given me hope that one day I will be able to overcome it

My friend took me up Snowden for the first time and it’s was amazing sight to see when I got to the top and I decided to go again with a another friend push myself to the limits. I’m doing this for myself and my dear brother who pass away he was so young who will never get a chance to do this himself. Just wanna say it’s was amazing video 🤗

At the end of the day we are all human with needs and fears. You are a rock and I think that's the first walk I have watched for quite a while (Ben Nevis via CMD!) Keep on doing what you are doing. All power to your elbow and know that there are so many people right behind you.

[@veejo9535]

I am so impressed with what you achieved this day both physically and mentally. I’ve seen a video made by someone else trekking Crib Goch on a clear, sunny day and the visible sheer drops are absolutely terrifying. I do suffer with vertigo but I know I could not have tackled that climb and you did it carrying a camera, awesome. Deep respect, you done well on all counts girl!

That is somewhat terrifying. It's not just the voices in your head, it's legit to be fearful of a fall from that! Utter respect to you. Please next time stick your go pro on your head, or chest, or somewhere...anywhere! You inspire me Abbie, you are way stronger than you believe yourself to be x

Amazing!

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

Hey! You did a great job of recording your hike along the ridge. Despite the mental and physical challenge the mountain presented, you took in the great scenery and landscapes, showcasing the ridges best features. I'm glad the cloud lifted for a short while. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey. I have to admit, I'm not brave enough to tackle Crib Goch, far too scary for me. Well done on overcoming the challenges that happened during the hike, you did so incredibly well. Your life does have worth, you are important and bring much joy to others through your videos. Looking forward to watching your future videos Abbie. Go well... xx

[@jessadelix7415]

Oh Abby I was so emotional watching this. My heart felt everything for you. Thank you. I am so grateful for you. Your videos make me feel like I can conquer the demons inside my head and make something of myself. My scars do not define me. I am Jess and I know I can.

[@traceyevans6412]

This is quite possibly the most powerful thing I have watched on KZbin. Absolutely well done Abbie, and for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. From 17.30 onwards I was so in awe of you, and the choices you made that day. The analogy of Crib Goch with your mental health, struck home for+me. You are an inspiration, and a legend.

Massive respect to you. I climbed it with my teenage son and 12 year old daughter last August, on a clear day with no wind. Watching you overcome each obstacle, physical and mental brings back lots of memories. We were able to support each other which is a big thing, whereas you had only yourself to rely on. 👍🏼

Hi Abbie, Honestly you are amazing, To climb such a dangerous mountain whilst suffering with mental health issues is a sign of a true warrior. My heart was in my mouth on numerous times whilst you was climbing. I kept shouting "Put your bloody camera away" lol. You are an inspiration to many for so many different reasons. It looked awe inspiring and scary at the same time. A brilliant video. New year blessings to you. x

[@Witteringtrucker]

What an inspiring woman you are Abbie!!!!! I'm just getting kit together to start getting back out on the hills and rediscover myself after suffering with mental issues for the last several years of trying to hide away from them. My happy place is sat on the summit of a big hill/mountain and I only realised this was the case a few weeks ago. Keep doing what your doing and maybe one day I'll bump into you on a slope somewhere and I can thank you in person.

[@davidsimpson3530]

Hi Abbie, I've just done the Snowdon Skyrace and so was reliving Grib Goch with your video. Thank you for talking so openly about your mental health. Having suffered from depression I love your perspective about the ridge and the heading along it. When I was doing it during the skyrace...my mantra was you chose to do this and this is what makes you feel alive and thankful for life! I hope you are keeping well? Best wishes, Dave

[@melissaanderson1986]

Wow! I am half way through watching and telling myself "It's gonna be ok. Abbie survives because she put the video on KZbin and has done more walks since this and posted. Abbie is so brave and clever!"

[@richardsarahcambridge8971]

Amazing video by an amazing person. Well done. I have over Crib Goch myself and it is a challenge but once you have been over it you just want to do it again.

[@ramblingremedies]

Thank you so much Abbie for inspiring me to get out in the wild and creating my own channel. Recording my ramblings has really helped me to explore both the stunning countryside that's on my doorstep, and my own thoughts and contemplations. I am physically and mentally stronger because of this. I am also less fixated on the destination, and more focused on the journey. Happy New Year!

[@bonnietigner4207]

You are so amazing...in every way! You step where most people would never dare! You are so very brave! You can rely on yourself. I understand the mental health issue and panic attacks only too well. Go Abby...go for those of us who can't. You are a beacon! Thank you so much. Bonnie in Arizona.

[@matthewlongman7493]

I admire your fortitude, the way you coaxed yourself through the tough sections. As in life we all have moments of doubt and question our worthiness. You have to start with belief in yourself, acceptance of who you are and not try to be a people pleaser. That’s not to say be selfish, one should be selfless. Your videos are honest, insightful and funny. Please give yourself a huge hug and pat on the back. Keep the content coming.

Oh, what a gift you are Abbie. Thank you!

Hi Abbie. I had previously watched some of this video before. I completed Crib Goch on Wednesday 17th Aug, 23. I was very scared and on my own. Although it was important that I took the decision to climb it by myself, I did take inspiration from you. I am a mental health nurse and fully appreciate the importance of looking after your mental health. I would be lying if I said it was enjoyable because it wasn't. Having said that, I was extremely satisfied with achievement. Thank you Abbie. Thank you for the inspiration.
