@@MorewithMat I'm in the midland so it's still a slog from here. I've had amazing luck over the years and out of the 10 or so trips 1 was wet, the rest were very hot. Scared to go again in case a spoil it lol
did this in my early 20's and remember thinking that it wasn't so bad. Fast forward 35 years and went up the Rhyd Ddu path with my 20 year old son - I felt that my chest was going to burst and had to turn around when I got to the ridge because it scared the hell outta me (my son went merrily on his way). Growing old is a bastard 🙁
Yeh takes it out of you on the steep sections! Hahah young and fearless! 🙌🏼 I haven't climbed it from that side before need to give it a try some time! ⛰
@@MorewithMat it's a v nice path 👍 Tbh, I think I could have made it on my own but having my son with me really freaked me out - he's a police officer, 10 x fitter and stronger than I could ever be, a good head for heights and took it all in his stride - I just couldn't shake the thought of him slipping at some point - it's the curse of being an ageing parent I guess!
@@SteveJones-uf9hs yeh I bet you’re more worried about him compared to yourself! Can imagine it would be more difficult with friends/family must distract you I remember I had so much focus whilst doing this because i didn’t need to worry about anyone else but myself
I did this in my 40s with my wife and three kids aged from 1 to 14. My wife thinks it's the only time the kids have let her go first. It's ok in good weather ie little to no wind and dry. I'm now 61 and did it solo in the mist and it was very slippery. Took it slow and basically was on all fours.
Great video 👍 brings back memories when I took that route in 2000 & 2001. While clambering with all 4 limbs employed, I was shocked to be passed by fell runners, couldn’t believe my eyes.
I still want to try Crib Goch but at 70 years old with arthritis and sciatica I worry that the exertion of getting up on to the ridge would leave me too knackered to get across safely. Also, if I do attempt it, I would have to be starting at first light so I would have all day to get across and back down again with plenty of time. I would hate to be racing against the dark. I could not believe it when you started and and its 3.30pm, I would be expecting to be heading down at that time. Well done kidda.
I guess only you know your own fitness levels and what you are capable of. Do you do much hiking? Can always try a more mild route and build up to this one? I know it was a long drive from Essex! 🚙 Yeh didn’t mind too much going down in the dark as have done the other routes a few times and know they are pretty simple/safe ⛰️ Thanks! 🙌🏼
Awesome video! Your camera angles make the hair raise up on my neck, LOL. I've seen videos of people hiking that area when it's covered in snow and camping, too. I'd love to see something like that once. Fun to watch!

We took our 5 kids up this route in 2007 (8, 10, 11, 13, 15). I remember when we got up to the ridge wondering, what the heck were we thinking!? But they were great ( and we had climbed before). My husband and I had done the route in college and loved it.
@@petersseven wow what an awesome family trip for you all! ⛰️ Good that they had some previous experience 🙌🏼 Same I love this route and sure it won’t be my last time up it!
Exciting venture on an iconic route. Wide angle lens exaggerates the visual impact of the height and exposure but it's still a monster view up there. In dry weather, CG's pretty straightforward; it's the sheer exhiliration of the constant 360 degree exposure which can take away some people's nerve. Check out the Welsh pronunciation of 'goch'. If you don't live near Snowdonia, stay overnight so that you don't put pressure on yourself to risk low light at the end of your hike.
Thanks, one of my favourites for sure! Gets the adrenaline pumping! ⛰ This day was literally perfect conditions for it couldnt have asked it to be any better! ☀️ Hahah the Welsh pronunciation it not my strong point! 🏴 Yeh I did stay in Snowdonia for a few nights on this trip and wanted to get it done that afternoon. Luckily I have climbed Snowdon a number of times so knew I could do an easier route down in the dark armed with a torch! 🙌🏼
Ive patched a flag onto that bag for each country its been to with me 🇧🇬 Me and a friend went on a hiking trip about 6-7 years ago trying to climb the highest mountain in Bulgaria (Musala) via a 3 day 2 night hike. Lets just say we were vastly under prepared and the taxi dropped us off at the wrong starting point which meant we got slightly lost following the wrong path. Planned to wild hammock camp but were higher than the tree line so had to sleep on a ground sheet with an emergency shelter over us with the temperature dropping to -2 degrees C over night! ❄️ Basically, didn't make it to the top, nearly died and wish I videoed the trip it was one hell of a (failed) adventure! ⛰ Still got it on the list to go back and give it another try! And yes we did have bear scarers with us! 🐻
Did this 3 weeks ago with my son. A word of advise. If the car park is full. There is a park and ride down the valley towards Llanberis. Factor in 30 mins extra time and £12 for parking and the bus. Everything else is joyous.

@@MorewithMat Yes there are, I view the most epic one from a distance 😀It`s not really my thing. But the routes and montains you got in UK seem to be way more accessable than in Norway? Closer to roads and not that long hikes to get to the scenic parts
@@stigfloberghagenphotography ahh okay yeh that makes sense I guess Norway is bigger aswell! Yeh probably mountain ranges are smaller here I guess. Just a shame I live in Essex about as far away as you can get from any mountains 😂
@@MorewithMat He he. Subbed. I have two videos from Jotunheimen that might give some impression. Try and do more videos from those areas laternin the winter and in summer 👍
I did this last year. Having watched All the video nastiest about the climb, I was expecting something more dangerous but it was not too bad actually. I found the climb to the top & start of the ridge more challenging. If you just keep to the left side of the ridge when heading towards the summit you should have no dramas
Yes that part can get steep in places and often need need to use all four limbs! 🧗🏼♂️ Yeh totally agree you can kind of cater it to your preference ⛰️
Scrambling Tryfan via North Face (without any scrambling experience) gave me the bug to get Crib Coch done, it was one of the most amazing expereince ever, dont know why i left this route out for a long time
Oh nice yes it’s addictive isn’t it! Makes you feel alive up there and is a great route! ⛰️ I haven’t done Tryfan for a few years now will have to go back again soon! 🙌🏼
At the time of this video, you’ve been up Snowdon and did Crib Goch the exact same amount of time as I’ve done! 🤣 Planning my 7th hike up Snowdon in August, this time I’ll be doing the climb at night time to do a bit of stargazing and also to watch the sunrise in the morning.

Subbed Mat! Be cool to do a hike video together if you fancy a trip to dartmoor and go to some cold pool areas in summer. If you really want a difficult hike come to China and do some mountains in Sichuan aha

@@MorewithMat Dartmoor is cool, we could do wild camping and there are some hidden cold pools on the moor I want to explore as well. I'll be back in the UK end of June, I'll hit you up then and see if we can arrange something! Cheers
I guess it’s all relative and depends what your experience is! I’m sure the scramble could taken on by most fit people confident in their ability but the knife does have serious consequences if you fall either side! ⛰️ Also UK has limited mountains so this is pretty extreme as far as UK hikes go I guess! 🙌🏼
@@MorewithMat Thank you for responding. Me and my wife are avid rope climbers and would like to walk over the ridges, it is just very hard to judge by videos how dangerous this particular route is. If you have time to respond, would you recommend some other ridges worth exploring that are beautiful as well?
@@MartinDlabaja no worries at all! Yes if you have experience on the mountains and it’s not high winds/wet I’m sure it would be manageable for you! Even if you don’t want to climb over the pinnacles there’s option to go around. And at the end of the day if it goes beyond what you are comfortable with you can just turn around ⛰️ I haven’t done lots and lots of the ridges around to be honest. I am based in Essex and a long way from anything remotely mountainous 😂 So trips are unfortunately few and far between 👎🏼 Tryfan north ridge is challenging, could be a good one to consider!
" near vertical drops on either side" what are u on about. Its a grade 1 scramble, and an easy one at that. Bristly ridge and Tryfan north ridge are harder in the park. Ive done crib 5 or 6 times, once with my dog. These videos always make it look worse due to the camera lens used. Go and do a video on the Cuillin Ridge
I don’t think that’s a bad description for this hike, especially in some sections! Yeh I’ve done Tryfan a few years back! Not heard of Bristly and Cuillin ridge but will check them out! 🙌🏼 Congrats on completing it 5/6 times that’s awesome! This was my second times, few more in the future! ⛰️
@MorewithMat think one part of the pinnacles has a big drop on it. The ridge itself, which isn't very long, doesn't have a steep drop on the left if heading from Pen y pass. Yes it is steep on the right but if u keep to the left it's fine. The Cuillin Ridge takes 2 days with a bivvy out on the ridge. Took me 20 hours of actual climbing and walking. It's the biggest mountaineering challenge in the UK
@MorewithMat unless ur experienced and very organised don't do it without a guide. Route finding is absolutely crucial. And u'll need to stash food and water on the ridge. As u need a lot for 2 days and there's no natural water on the ridge. The ridge is 12km long
@@robmckinley5475 id like to think I’d be able to take it on, whether I could or not is another question! 😂 Maybe I’ll look into it and do a few milder ones first! Sounds pretty hardcore! 🙌🏼⛰️
One wrong move and can easily result in that and unfortunately it happens multiple times a year (obviously not a like for like comparable to Everest) 🏔️
Death zone? Come on. I walked along there with my family when I was 9. Which isn't unusual. Please stop ridiculously hamming up how extreme things are. It's tedious and unnecessary.

Yes it is steep on the right but if u keep to the left it's fine. The Cuillin Ridge takes 2 days with a bivvy out on the ridge. Took me 20 hours of actual climbing and walking. It's the biggest mountaineering challenge in the UK
@@robmckinley5475 wow Cuillin ridge sounds right up my street! Might have to look into trying it sometime! ⛰️
@MorewithMat unless ur experienced and very organised don't do it without a guide. Route finding is absolutely crucial. And u'll need to stash food and water on the ridge. As u need a lot for 2 days and there's no natural water on the ridge. The ridge is 12km long
@@robmckinley5475 id like to think I’d be able to take it on, whether I could or not is another question! 😂 Maybe I’ll look into it and do a few milder ones first! Sounds pretty hardcore! 🙌🏼⛰️
“The death zone” what at 1000m??? Don’t make us laugh mate.
One wrong move and can easily result in that and unfortunately it happens multiple times a year (obviously not a like for like comparable to Everest) 🏔️
... try falling off!
@@ApplyWithCaution no thank you 😅
8 - 10 deaths a year , i would say it hurts if you fall 😅
@@Jasp126 100% would not like to go off the edge! 🤕
Meh!
Oh yeh!
Death zone? Come on. I walked along there with my family when I was 9. Which isn't unusual. Please stop ridiculously hamming up how extreme things are. It's tedious and unnecessary.
I admit it’s not quite Everest! But guess everyone has different ideas/levels of extreme ⛰️ Yours is obviously on the higher side
It looks completely terrifying to me lol
Is it one way? 🫣
No you can do it both ways! 🙌🏼 I’ve never actually gone back down the other way only up! ⛰️
