Possibly the best hike I've ever done! The Snowdon Horseshoe via Crib Goch, Garnedd Ugain, Snowdon Summit and Y Lliwedd traverses the entire horseshoe ridge line from Pen y Pas car park up to the summit of Snowdon and back round again.
Traversing the Crib Goch knife edge and the pinnacles wasn't too scary, most videos don't really show it very well, hopefully, my drone footage will show you in better detail. The scramble to the top of Crib Goch and along to Snowdon was incredible.
I actually summited Snowdon the day before and went along Y Llywedd, but the fog was very low and visibility was poor, so I'm really glad that I decided to wait until this day to complete the entire trek.
Situated in Snowdonia National Park in Wales, the Snowdon Horseshoe is 7 and a half miles long, usually takes 6 hours with a summit on Snowdon at 1,085 metres above sea level. This trek isn't for the faint-hearted and if it's your first attempt of Crib Goch, I highly recommend going for it in good visibility for your safety.
I went alone, but without a guide, it was fine as the path is very well maintained, so not much need for a map unless you're going in poor conditions.
BTW, I MADE THIS INCREDIBLE BIT OF GEAR
