Snowdon via Crib Goch

Difficulty

Group Size: 1-8

,

Take your Snowdon adventure to the next level with a guided hike over the legendary Crib Goch: The famous knife-edge ridge that leads up the summit of Snowdon, the highest point in England and Wales.

Join an experienced mountain leader for an unforgettable journey across this dramatic ridge, where jaw-dropping views and heart-pounding exposure combine to create one of the most iconic challenges in Wales.

Perfect for hikers looking to step up their mountain experience with the support of a qualified guide, this route offers excitement, achievement, and scenery you’ll be talking about for years. Tackle the ridge safely, confidently, and at your own pace—then stand on the summit of Snowdon with a huge smile and an even bigger sense of accomplishment.

This trip isn’t for the feint-hearted and a head for heights is advised! Climbing Snowdon via Crib Goch is without doubt the most adventurous way to hike this mammoth mountain and it really is one of best days out you can have in a pair of walking boots in the UK.

Although it is a non-technical route, Crib Goch does involve some scrambling (the use of your feet and hands) and does feel a little exposed in parts. For that reason, this trip is aimed at those with a least some hiking experience and those looking to take their hiking to the next level.

You’ll spend two days and two nights in Snowdonia, scaling Crib Goch and Snowdon on the best weather day, with the second day being an easier hike to save your energy for the main event

With a 4:1 client – guide ratio, you’ll be led by two qualified and highly experienced guide who will ensure you’ll be kept safe at all times.

As always, we’ll sort out the road transfers, accommodation and guided hiking so just join us at the meeting point and leave the rest to us.
