Crib Goch

£137.00

Saturday 13th June 2026

Make it a thrill-seekers weekend dream?

Add Tryfan North Ridge to your basket for £10 off.

Achieve an incredible feat by navigating across one of the UK’s most famous ridge lines at 923 m, set in the heart of Eryri National Park. Choose whether or not to take on the pinnacles at the end, then progress onto Bwlch Coch and up Wales’ second highest peak, Garnedd Ugain. This is another Grade 1 scramble but is much more blocky than Crib Goch, topping out at 1,065 m. On a clear day the summit trig of Garnedd Ugain gives incredible views of the Snowdon summit. Once you’ve stood on Wales’ highest peak, you’ll descend via the Pyg Track back to Pen Y Pass.

This is a serious and rewarding mountain day for those with good fitness, focus and nerve.

Trip Highlights

  • Traverse the iconic exposed Crib Goch ridge (Grade 1 scramble)

  • Summit Garnedd Ugain (Wales’ second highest peak) and Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa)

  • Experience one of the most famous ridge walks in the UK

  • Optional pinnacles section for added adrenaline

  • Small-group guiding

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:

Crib Goch is a very serious undertaking and should be treated as such. This mountain has claimed the lives of people who were underprepared with incorrect or inadequate kit and due diligence.

We have never had an incident on Crib Goch because we fully plan, prepare and risk assess the route. We complete final weather checks on the morning of the hike. If conditions are too risky, we will switch to the Pyg Track ascent of Snowdon and traverse up to Garnedd Ugain as a backup.

We reserve the right to refuse to let anyone undertake this trip upon kit inspection if it is not adequate — we can help you get your kit together if needed.
