    Tips

    September 15, 2021

    This is where it gets interesting. Once you get to this point the path splits and you have a choice to go left and continue on PYG track or be Right and head up to Crib Goch. This will be a challenging walk as you may lose path at points but to be honest there always seem to be enough people around that you could ask for advice on the route or sneakily follow them. (Do make sure that they look like they know what they're doing HA!)


    *A word of advice - If the day is sunny and you are sure of you have steady feet feel free to challenge yourself on Crib Goch, HOWEVER if it is raining I strongly advise you to skip this as the edge you need to cross for Crib Goch in rain gets very slippy and very dangerous!

      This is not Crib Goch, but merely the junction where the path leading to the ridge leaves the PYG path.

        A wonderful route - but not for beginners.
