Overview

• Traverse the famous Crib Goch ridge to the summit of Snowdon
• Small group adventures loved by 100% of hikers
• Great for solo travellers, friends and families!
• BOOK THROUGH TO OCTOBER 2026!

Without doubt the most awesome route to the top of Snowdon has to be via Crib Goch. With grade one scrambles and a knife-edged arête it’s the ultimate Snowdon challenge.

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. Your return journey will be along the Miners’ Track where you’ll have amazing views back up to Crib Goch.

We only work with qualified and experienced mountain guides who are fully insured and hold up-to-date first aid certificates.

What's Included

  • Qualified and experienced local mountain guide
  • Guided hike to the summit of Snowdon via Crib Goch

What To Expect

The walk 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.

The route is a little over seven miles (11.4km) and will take around six hours.
