Crib Goch - No Fall Zone - Dangerous in Good Weather?

[@jonison6847]

If you're watching this video and aren't a mountaineer then don't be misled - Crib Goch is a dangerous technical walk / scramble not to be undertaken lightly (or at all in bad conditions) and in winter conditions becomes a graded mountaineering route. You've been warned! Have fun but stay safe.

[@dizzydeckdog6688]

Yeah it's hectic.

[@trevcam6892]

I've certainly been along it a number of times with no problem. I'm now 81 and wouldn't try it again. My sense of balance ain't what it used to be plus my knackered knee is a bit dodgy. But I can still walk up to about 10 miles before the knee gets too painful. Easier routes for me now. I need some space to fall down safely. But I'm not ready for the reclining armchair yet.

Good on you mate! Hope I can still enjoy our beautiful countryside at your age 👌

[@brokenjet6134]

Huge respect dude

[@kleenmaint]

You go buddy. I'm trying to determine what level of acceptance I need to exercise in relation to my activity. I hope to do some scuba. I had to temper my hike up Bridal Veil Falls at Yosemite a few years ago. Coming down is of course much more difficult. I had a very nice young man give me one of his hiking pole on my way back down. I wish I'd gotten his email to give thanks and return the favor somehow, but . . . . :)

[@SNOWDONTRYFAN]

Having spent that many times traversing it plus climbing some of the other more precarious entry points during my days as an Army Adventure Training instructor winter and Summer the place holds some great memories and some sad ones , when involved in helping the local MRT recover fallen walkers , but the things that really stick in my mind , are the many times I found myself having to help people due to their total lack of respect for the route being totally unprepared for days that require good footwear and water proof/warm clothing !

[@HambletonRanger]

I did this route 50 years ago full of confidence, my knees are wobbly just looking at your video 😄

ditto on both points, seeing this video makes me realise how much more adventurous I used to be

[@lestrem11]

As an occasional walker in and around our mountainous national parks in my forties I had a very simple ‘rule of thumb’ on what constituted a risk I was prepared to take. If I fall, will it kill me. Not very adventurous I know but you only get one life and sometimes just one mistake.

[@markrobinson6442]

I spent 12 years flying RAF Sea Kings on SAR and I have exactly the same rule. I won't go up anything I can fall off!

[@stanettiels7367]

You can fall three feet and die. What do you do, crawl everywhere because you’re scared to stand up? Because a fall from standing height if you hit your head can be fatal. I’m being facetious.

[@glenburridge]

Another few rules that would seem simple and save lives: 1. Keep 2m away from any drop that could kill you 2. If don't wish to comply with 1., as here, always have at least one hand on the rock 3. If want to film yourself, get a bodycam, don't waste a limb that could save your life on a camera.

[@bobg1069]

Did the route more than a dozen times, 3 in winter snow. A superb route and very safe if you follow the basic rules. I even took my 12 year old on it and he loved it. He is now a 40 year old mountaineer, so it must have made an impression.

[@joshfensome]

Good stuff Bob :)

[@andrewbowen6875]

Well this is it re following and respecting the rules which should not be subjective. The times the Rangers are dealing with ineptitude and casual gear is scary and dangerous for everyone. I found Trefan to be prone to a fall than here

[@nicholasjones7312]

What are the basic rules for Crib Goch that you mention?

[@bobg1069]

@@nicholasjones7312 be well equipped for the season and conditions, Wear appropriate clothing and footwear, take crampons for winter in snow and ice, even if that is only present higher up and at least a walking ice axe. Take a charged phone with you. On the climb itself, keep firm handholds on the knife edge with three points of contact at all times. Move carefully and deliberately. Don't be clever and try to balance on the knife edge parts of the route. Don't try to leave the route mid climb, the scree slopes are dangerous.

As usual he was carrying his guitar in one hand and a bag of overripe bananas in the other. Well equipped scramblers looked on in amazement as he sped past them.

[@nosas66]

Did the route 1st time mid winter down from Snowdon, full gear crampons, axes..terrifying imo glad to say I've done and glad to say i survived but wont be repeating it.

[@hairymotter5455]

It was my first experience in full winter gear too....actually easier underfoot than when theres no snow

[@StinkyPinkyUK]

We did that route on the way up a few years ago in April (so still snow about). 4 of us and a dog. It was the only section where the owner wanted the dog on lead and whilst we were chatting lots as normal we were much quiter and more focused. I was leading and at one point I looked up to see a f'ing mountain bike being ridden down towards me! We had to shimmy down and cling on for it to pass wheels less than a foot from my head. Absolutely nuts.

[@tracboy80]

How is that person not a sack of spuds 1000s of feet below, that's insane. Would make an incredible video mind.

[@The_Wayfarers]

He wanted to put the mountain in the mountain bike to the test.

[@Bettys_Eldest]

I walked the Snowdon Horseshoe and ascent over Crib Goch forty years ago. Our group leader had been rather vague about the path, which was probably helpful as I don't have a head for heights. The cloud closed in as we approached the knife-edge so I could see nothing of the drop as I shuffled along. Shortly after crossing we stopped for lunch and the sun came out to display the magnificent view, but I doubt that I would have managed the crossing without the cloud. The walk down the railway track was much less stressful.

[@howler6490]

Did this route quite a few times when it was new...thats how long ago it was, and we thought it was an excellent way to get to or from Snowdon. Looking at it now,I should have appreciated it for what it is...an excellent, top class ridge. It is better by far than any other of the ridges south of Arran...that'll cause a row but its true...look at the amount of really narrow, very exposed rock...I have had to apply a short rope to get past the narrows on a couple of occasions... This is one of the best videos of the ridge I have seen. Short n sweet. Well done bud, great job.

[@karlosfandango6637]

[@keyboarddancers7751]

It's just over twenty years since I last ran along that ridge and just over forty years since I first crawled along it in terror! The slightly wide angle camera lens makes it seem much more intimidating than "real life" because the camera lacks immersive perspective and a correct sense of scale. Nonetheless, it is still quite tricky in places especially in very challenging conditions including ice. My knees won't allow me to get up and down those mountains any more so I thoroughly enjoy watching these sorts of videos.

[@Golf05]

@Theseshgremlinn Keeping a camera in one hand and climbing with the other is not my idea of a smart approach. Better to attach a video cam onto your helmet or other hand free accessory and grab everything in sight.

[@eddy_creative]

For me I was able to walk upright on Striding Edge, Helvellyn, but when it came to Crib Goch, its so high that at various points the wind was just to much and i had to butt-scoot across various sections lol, not because of fear of the height, just the sheer strength of the wind. Maybe if i catch it on a better day..

[@robbreeze7599]

I did this in the mid eighties when I, with another group of Buckinghamshire teachers, traversed it during the February half-term. Lots of snow and ice necessitated wearing crampons. At one point I was sat, straddling the ridge with my left leg dangling one way and my right leg the other. Wouldn’t/couldn’t do it now but it was great fun then!

[@roymoore7557]

Last time I traversed this I had a companion who suffered from vertigo, which I didn’t know until we were halfway across, as luck would have it, visibility was nil with driving rain and 40mph wind so he couldn’t see the drops. Wherever my hand was, his hand was attached to mine. He breathed one hellova sigh of relief when we reached the end, if he had seen this video beforehand, no way would he have attempted it. I have climbed Striding Edge numerous times, it bears no resemblance to Crib Goch, thoroughly enjoyed it though

[@adamlea6339]

I've done it once in good weather and whilst it isn't technical, the exposure had me on all fours for much of the ridge as it was well outside my comfort zone. I'd like to have another attempt on two limbs as in this video.

[@davewatson309]

I met a posh woman coming down as I was going up, 'I kin shat myself' said she, to my amazement. Tis quite exposed, you must admit.

[@etmdwats]

I've done it in summer, no problem. I've done it in bad weather in January, very scary.

[@ianlainchbury]

Having done this twice, the worst bit, for me, isn't included.... which is the climb up from the pyg. In this case, it would have been the climb down. Nah... I'm done lol. Nice to see the ridge again though.

[@markjones127]

Great video, the ridge is a simple grade 1 scramble but it's just the exposure which gets some people, stunning though, Snowdon is a beautiful mountain, GoPro's with their small wide-angle lens make it look much steeper, which is enhanced even more if the lens is pointing downwards, there are fell runners who can run along the entire length, I'm also a local fell runner and have done it many times but can't run it, I take it relatively easy! There's an amazing video of Colin Donnellys record attempt in the 80's called - Welsh3000s - Colin Donnellys World Record

[@markjones127]

@Chris Wings It 🤣

[@stephenrowlands843]

It can be quite a challenge in winter conditions which makes it a far cry from traversing in the summer months! I have done this route oh so many times in all weather and was always enjoyable.

[@charlesmountney8062]

Try it when it is covered in snow and ice like I did and you wouldn't be so blasé. Took us four and a half hours to get from Snowdon peak back to Pen y Pass by this route in the depths of winter. Never was I so glad to settle into Pete's Eats for a famed chip butty and mug of tea. Then back home for a relaxing spliff. 😌

[@kmotch]

Did this many years ago with an old glf who had a panic attack half way along the ridge where the RIP plaque is located. Took me ages to get her moving again. Not to be taken lightly that route.

You are feet away from a massive drop. Of course crib goch is dangerous. I’ve been walking for decades and aren’t really comfortable in terrain like that! No head for heights despite liking climbing (roped).

[@moirahill6397]

You need a good center of balance to traverse it. Before you go, stand still and close your eyes. If you don't wobble then you're good to go. If you do then I'd avoid it.

[@datamonkey2450]

Probably helpful to some but if you're planning on doing Crib Goch I suggest you research elsewhere as this doesn't show the bits where some folk get into trouble (around Bwlch Coch and just to the east of it) - where the step/gash is and 3rd pinnacle. Hope you managed your 3000s - few complete it first attempt.

[@davidevans3498]

Excellent advice

[@JPHeath]

The ridge is fairly straightforward as long as u are aware of the unavoidable stairway to heaven section which catches a lot of people out, certain death if u slip there. Check out Tryfan North ridge, 15 min drive from snowdon, an awesome and fun grade 1 scramble

[@dannimac777]

It used to be avoidable.

[@Tubesmaney]

I've been up Halfdome, which was not scary at all - especially with the cables to help get to the top, but this looks frightening to me. I saw a couple of other videos of it and didn't get the sense of the danger, but this one certainly showed it! Tiny ridge 100s of feet up with rocks on both sides ants steeply sided! I'd love to try it, but don't think I'd be going as fast as the guy in the video.

I had to bribe my wife up Crib some Goch some 45 years ago. I had to place a square of chocolate on the ridge about every 10m; we got to the top, but without any more emergency rations. She still blames me. It was becoming very smoothed out then, it must be much more slippery now.

[@treetosky]

too funny! 😅

Best days for crib goch are wet and windy days, more focused with less people for distractions

[@NeilMalthus]

I see your logic but then there's 50 shades of 'wet and windy', isn't there? As it's typically windier the higher you ascend, how and where exactly do you gauge suitability? Wet rock / gale-force wind gusts could prove too much for many people. Like with just about everything in life, it really is 'case by case', therefore, I'd say.

It didn't give me any problems, and I have zero previous scramble ability. Might be best not to go it alone. Best to avoid during gusty wind and sub zero. If there's a whiff of icy weather then it's best not to.

[@soulofsmoke6541]

Amazing footage

[@MikeKuiack]

Any thoughts on how it compares to Vancouver's West Lion or Brunswick scrambles as far as exposure, if you've done them?

[@treetosky]

Its leaps easier and less exposed than West Lion. It's comparable to the upper sections of Brunswick, although the exposure sections are longer on Crib Goch vs. on Brunswick. The footing is stable in dry conditions though, and there's no veggie belay or cruxs to navigate like on the Lions. Worth saying, I'd only feel safe doing this in good weather. The wind can whip up the ridge where it becomes difficult to stand. The wind is no joke.

[@MikeKuiack]

@@treetosky Thanks! Good to know. I did some stuff in the Peak District this summer and got some mileage in doing Wainwright’s Coast to Coast across northern England as a run-hike, so definitely have my eye on the Welsh 3000s the next time I’ve over there. Helpful video.

[@12skipp]

Isn't the etiquette to go the opposite way you did?

[@frozen_jug_band]

There's no 'etiquette' as such when choosing whether to traverse CG east to west or west to east (as in this video). Most people who are 'only' completing the Snowdon horseshoe route or are planning to descend from Snowdon summit by the Pyg track (or another route) after traversing CG choose to go east to west as it means you tackle the most difficult part of your route when you're at your freshest. The most popular Welsh 3000s route (which I think the chap says he was attempting in the video) begins on the summit of Snowdon and traverses CG west to east for the same reason, so he's perfectly within his rights to be tackling the ridge this way. He also seemed to show plenty of good etiquette/consideration when he was passing people travelling in the opposite direction in the video IMHO.

[@JPHeath]

Problem is mainly the decent back down to the Pyg, there's a few tricky maneuvers that can catch people out and are unable to do. There's been quite a few accidents of people doing the ridge that way round and falling on the decent down

[@richardmathews6236]

If he’s doing the Welsh 3000s then you start on the top of Y Wyddfa, cross Garnedd Ugain and then Crib Goch so you can drop off Crib Goch’s east ridge into Cwm Glas Bach and down into the Llanberis Pass to ascend y Glyderau via Elidir Fawr

Happy memories of my tramping days in all seasons in the 70s and 80s in North Wales. In those days the scramble was taken seriously with stout foot ware (good old Ellis Brigham boots) and a sensible day pack that contained safety gear for one's wellbeing and perhaps some other unfortunate one. How things have changed. Sorry my friend but attempting Crib Goch suitably dressed for a jog along the beach with an action camera in hand sends out the wrong message regarding mountain safety.

[@treetosky]

Thank you for concern, I can see how it appears I was a novice. However, in my pack I was carrying a full kit: Waterproof pants, thermals, emergency medical kit, an additional waterproof jacket, emergency bivy, matches, emergency SOS beacon, spare head torch, gloves, powerbank for charging, microspikes and poles. My loved ones were tracking me in real time via Spot Tracker and I checked in at regular intervals. This video is just a short snippet of me running the Welsh 3,000's which was a multi hour effort that was not taken lightly. I was dressed for a jog, because I was out for a run, not a hike. Stay tuned for the full video of my adventure. Thank you for watching.

Hi Robert. Thank you for the question. Yes. The Speedgoats gripped the rock easy. I find the rubber used on the Vibram outsole grips dry or damp rock very well. The only downside is the shoes don't have much ankle support, so if you havent trained with them a lot to strengthen your foot muscles, you may easily roll an ankle.

[@foreverlv311]

Guy's a pro so it's super easy for him. Do not try this if you've never climbed or hiked up anything higher than your house otherwise you'll follow through 😂 and the exposure will soon wake you up! No silly trainers and check the weather up there because it can change very quickly and can be disorienting especially if you've no head for heights.

With things like these, being relaxed, but also very cautious and focussed is very important. There is no room for any mistakes in a few crucial areas. If you're at all anxious about the heights, try testing yourself with something smaller first to see how you feel. Worth noting too, pack enough gear to keep you safe if the weather turns 👍

[@garymanning4578]

The go pro makes it look very narrow but in reality it is twice as wide. Have done it twice. However the route around the Pinnacles heading West can be quite nerve racking as the rock is little loose and a friend of mine decided to take a higher route and dislodged a small bolder which I had to lean out from the ridge to avoid it hitting my head and just managed to grab a sharp rock to stop me falling way down to the Pyg track below. The consequences could have been very serious and very possibly fatal. Lesson don’t be complacent up there and don’t go scrambling with an idiot.
