What to expect

With this experience you will traverse the famous Crib Goch ridge en route to the summit of Snowdon.

The Snowdon Horseshoe is often described as one of the best ridge walks in Wales with ‘interesting' terrain and amazing views, but with grade one scrambles, a knife-edged arête and big drops to contend with it's certainly not for the faint-hearted. The route is made up of a horseshoe shaped ring of ridges and peaks on Snowdon's eastern side and makes for a great mountain day suitable for most.

It starts with an easy climb from Pen y Pass along the Pyg Track before veering off to tackle the exposed ridge of Crib Goch. The bravest will march confidently along the top whilst the more nervous will be on all fours with most people managing a bit of both! The pinnacles give you a bit of easy vertical scrambling before the easy walk to Snowdon's summit. You'll then descend to the south to the rough, rocky Y Lliwedd with its amazing views back to Crib Goch then further down into Cwm Dyli before joining the Miners' Track back to the start.
