Nantlle Ridge: What You Can Expect on This Classic & Memorable Hike

[@paulkimber2009]

To turn this route into a circular tour, it's possible to (carefully) drop down in a SW direction from the summit of Craig Silyn towards the quarries and the path that heads NNE through Cwn Trwsgi and Bwlch-y-Ddwy-elor and this returns you to Rhyd-Ddu. Used to take a school group on this very route many years ago. Great video and a super route away from the crowds.

Thanks, I've seen a few KZbin vids where they miss off the final two summits and just do a four summit hike with a circle back via the quarry, but I think the effort up Craig Cwm Silyn is worth it :-).

Dan you have to go back. You forgot to do Mynydd Graig Goch! As you are the Bald Scrambler I was hoping you would demonstrate those Steve Ashton Scrambles as I never seem to locate them?

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Fabulous conditions. Got to enjoy those clear skies while they last.

[@thebaldscrambler]

I was parched after this hike, quite long for me - 18km in the sun. Got a few more vids in the pipeline, more scrambling in the next one :-).

Another great video Dan, a long route, but great scenery. Keep up the good work mate. Cheers, Tony.

Just watched this video me and a friend are going to do the ridge this August hopefully the weather is going to be as nice as it was for you 😃 but we’re going to do the one way route from nebo with a cb radio in hand 😀 love the video hopefully we can do a video to and tell the tail ❤

The view is absolutely amazing. I was on Y garn today the first time and if it wasn't for the second top, I might have gone further, the ridge looks so beautiful after that 2 years ago without my health problems I probably would have done it... Still the views up from Y Garn are sooo stunning already. I enjoyed it so much ❤ Great video.

Thank you, I love the Nantlle Ridge, going to do a revisit later this year.

Very beautiful place

[@This.Island.Earth68]

Nice video of an excellent route that I've enjoyed many times in a variety of weathers. According to the old edition of Ashton, there are some obscure scrambles on the ridge which facilitate alternate ascents of Y Garn and Craig Cwm Silyn *(routes 64, 65 & 66)* - although they don't sound too promising ☹️

I've got the most recent book and it does state a grade 2 line up next to the wall on Craig Cwm Silyn but I must have missed it, it's probably quite short. I do have "Craig Fawr Rib" on my to-do list, it's a grade 3 (2star) in the most recent book and I was going to reccy it when I went up Nantlle Ridge but I ran out of time as I started late. I might have a go next I'm in Snowdonia, which will be fairly soon ;-).

Thanks! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Another great video mate. Yet to do Nantlle ridge. Not much scramble holding me back though 😂

[@thebaldscrambler]

There's a couple of scrambles nearby, if you're feeling energetic! (Craig Fawr Rib is a grade 3). It was a long day up there on the Ridge; worth considering if you go to Snowdonia with ppl who aren't into climbing/scrambling.

[@matyasnoemi8768]

Hello, we have a plan to walk the Natile circle (5km)and it was told that there is a tiny scrambling (a few minutes) I don't like it because I don't feel safe also I have high fear. So how difficult that and is there enough space to step easily? or it is like sharp edge of the peak.

[@thebaldscrambler]

The scrambling is very short and at the lowest grade (grade 1-) and is slightly off the left of the ridge peak so it's not directly on the peak, i.e it's not on the top of a knife edge ridge.

[@matyasnoemi8768]

Thank you, that's sound great for me, I have high fear.
