Hi Grace, I came across your videos after seeing a news article on the Daily Post website. Seeing your videos a few days ago actually inspired and encouraged me to dig out my old mountaineering gear, and this morning I walked up to the summit of Y Garn in the Glyderau. I started hill walking back in 1997, but haven’t been up the hills for almost 10 years. At 57 years old, I surprised myself at how fit I still am this morning - all thanks to your videos.
Brilliant video, thank you so much. It brought back a lot of memories of 40 years ago when I was a lot fitter. I only did Crib Goch once and it was foggy. We didn’t realise how steep the sides were until we saw the postcards in the old station gift shop at the top. Many thanks again, Mike in Sheffield.
used to love days like these. the days when we feel really alive. the times spent climbing in the alps, the sun rises and the feeling of warmth. happy days.
Well done grace. Your certainly achieving your goals. That scenery is utterly breathtaking. Also the helicopter moment was so cool. Well done girl. Keep on climbing 😉
Have not been on a mountain for 30 years due to severe health problems but like you are doing I collected as many memmories as possible, keep going and keep posting. Had over 200 crossings of Grib Goch but the most beautiful and memorable was above a red tinted inversion (could not resist your video when I saw Crib Goch and inversion in the title) I can guarantee that that is a memory you will have for decades. My memory also included emerging from the immersion on Snowdon just as, coincidentally a good friend, at that time, emerged from the other side together with his dog. Mountain memories never go away, dont ever stop.
Aye lass you made it and didn’t cry so a huge feather in your cap and very valuable experience. Something you will no doubt build on as you take on more challenges. Love your vids so thanks.
Hoorah for you. Crib Goch is the one place (well, maybe also Sharp Edge in the Lakes) where I wouldn't lead groups of kids because I'd be too busy watching for my own safety. Great views back down the ridge (you can sense that relief!) and of the clouds below - thank you. Might be little relief to you now, but that shoulder route up Pen yr Ole Wen is a lot more stabilised now than a while back. Tricky coming down in the dark. I'm glad you got down safely. Try the loop back down to the river and along the lake in the daylight sometime. Longer, but probably quicker, as there's a lot less scrambling. Happy walking in the new year.
Wow those sunrise/sets. I've been up snowdon a few routes but never crib goch. I was shaking just watching you on that ridge. And so glad you made it back down on that first night xx
Really good video. I love the fact you didn't hide any part of your humanity as so many would. You and. Couple of other "youtubers" have inspired me to start my own and get out there. I think I need you to lead me over crib Goch lol
Did Crib Goch when I was 15yrs old as part of the Duke of Edinburgh awards , also Tryffan and Snowden . Day after we heard that three people had died having been blown off Crib Goch when high winds had picked up , so you were wise not to do it solo . Thanks for upload it brought back some happy memories , cannot believe 42 yrs have passed since then !!!!
just worked it our.. its been 27 years since I last went up that route... spent new year top there when I was 19..... damn I miss it was up there about 10 times a year
Good on you, you are a true brave and free soul. Snowdonia is so beautiful, thank you for taking your time to create this wonderful content, I love snowdonia and this reminds me of so many adventures 🙏🙏
What a great day for your hike i wish sometimes I live close by its a bit of a hike from Kent to Wales for the day and you have to be so careful to pick the right one as it changes so quickly great job
Great stuff Grace. The scenery and surrounding landscape were vividly captured, I felt I was there, and actually wished I was. The sunrise against the backdrop of the clouds was stunning. I was impressed how you were alert to the dangers of the descent of Pen Yr Ole Wen and encroaching darkness. A++ Thanks for sharing and cheering me up.
Pen yr Ole Wen can be a bit of a trickster I've found! Especially on descent, and even with the helpful little cairns people have made to try and even the score. Amazing luck to have clear weather on top -it has always been in mist for me.
What an amazing day you got for it. I think it must be 30 years since i did crib goch, going to have to do it again at some point. So mant mountains to climb and so little time - i need to retire whilst i'm still fit enough.
Another great film, really enjoy your channel, great inspiration and tips for all. Fenix Light should send you a LR35R for those low light descents👍. Looking forward to your next adventure.
One of my favourite routes to do is up Pen Yr Ole Wen, up to Carnedd Daffyd, round to Llewelyn, then east along the ridge, cutting down past the reservoir to the A5 then back along the A5 to the car. It’s a long day out but a great walk with some stunning views
Great video, one of the best I've watched (Except the wild camps, they are awesome) Loved the music on the approach! keep it up! Its rare to find youtubes except Hazey who do genuine videos without trying too hard!
Nice one Grace. The Snowdon horseshoe via CG was my first ever walk in wales back in November 2016. Did it solo and couldn’t see a thing🙄. Conditions were incredible for you. I was camped on Moel Siabod that Friday night and saw the rescue chopper on Saturday morning as I was heading back. Great video and well done 😎💪👍. Take care - Dave
i see rescue chopper as well and cites reports from this event: ''i was airlifted to bangor hospital where i was treated for a 2 inch hole in my shin 2 inches deep exposing my bone muscles and ligaments 1mm more i would have snapped my tibia ''
Seeing you smile throughout the video is making me smile, you can really tell you enjoy it! If and when you do a group hike in Yorkshire or the Lakes, I'll be sure to join you Grace. Keep on climbing 😊
@@searchingfortruth587 and who are you to complain? yes camping is illegal but it's tolerated in some places, take the lake district for example they actually promote wild camping on their website, and I wild camp in Wales a lot and no locals have ever had a problem with it, even if its their land, maybe because like most wild campers I camp on public access land or as close to it as I can, if anything they enjoy coming over for a chat, I have even had land owners come up to me and say it's okay to stay but they are just letting me know they are letting their sheep out soon and they might get a bit curious of the tent, and that is land owners that actually run camping sites on some of their fields but still perfectly happy for me and others to wild camp free of charge on land they don't use or only use for their sheep. And as for mountains they are public access so if a member of public wants to walk/climb up and down then they have every right to whether you like it or not
@@searchingfortruth587 there are loads of dangerous activities on RUclips, should we not have, let's say kayaking videos incase someone sees it gets a kayak and drowns, or what about football videos cause what if someone wants to give it ago and trips and breaks their neck? And mountain law is not a thing lol mountain rescue may issue advice but that's all it is advice, it's not law and no one has to follow the advice. And as for real law I very much doubt you have never broken a law as the law is very complex and some laws are out dated, apparently its still illegal to hoover your home on a Sunday. And like I said no one has ever had a problem with me camping and i bet the only people that do are people that don't even own the land they just don't like others enjoying the area
Love Crib, Pen Yr Ole Wen is definitely on my list now after viewing it from the otherside like you for many hikes! Also made the best pizza decision in Betws!
Wow, love it, what a walk, good on ya girl 😉. I did crib goch and the horseshoe when I was 14 with some old guy I meet whilst walking with my parents, the rest of my family did the regular route with his wife!. It was awesome, but I’ve forgotten how awesome, thanks for reminding me, now subscribed so looking forward to more Gracie adventures and ideas 👍🍺
Well done Grace. I did Crib Goch back in 2006, and saw someone fall (badly injured, but survived thankfully), so haven't been back. But it's always a fantastic achievement, and a memory that'll stay with you for sure.
Great video as always. I was there on that Saturday as well but I left the car park earlier as I wanted to see the sunrise from the summit. It was probably the last chance this year to enjoy such an amazing view with the low clouds and a clear sun rise. I saw the rescue helicopter too but at that point I was getting towards the end of my descent.
Born in Bethesda, Gwynedd, I, along with a school mate, walked the Crib Goch route to the summit of Snowden. We were 14 and fearless. This young lady did brilliantly. And, no, I don't mean for a girl!😂 She's fearless!! 👍

Yet another fantastic video, great views. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a peaceful healthy new year.
Loved this thanks for sharing, what a great weekend.
Great watch Grace, great to see Bangors buffest mountain leader
used to love days like these. the days when we feel really alive. the times spent climbing in the alps, the sun rises and the feeling of warmth. happy days.
Iv crossed crib goch so many times, it never gets boring. So much love for snowdonia
Well done grace. Your certainly achieving your goals. That scenery is utterly breathtaking. Also the helicopter moment was so cool. Well done girl. Keep on climbing 😉
Thanks so much I appreciate it 🤍

Really good vid, and a good point about using an ML too 👍
You are amazing ! So much beautiful view ! and god the weather was good ... thanks for the video
Excellent video Grace, you were so lucky to get the weather you did at this time of the year. Well done on Crib, got that on my list to do
Certainly good weather for the time of year. I recall being in waist deep snow some years ago, that was hard going! Glad to see you back vlog'n again.
Thanks Simon!
Wow those sunrise/sets. I've been up snowdon a few routes but never crib goch. I was shaking just watching you on that ridge. And so glad you made it back down on that first night xx
Thanks so much I’m glad you liked it ☺️
Great footage - (cinematic affect ) and mucho appreciated, enjoy watching your videos - got a great chilled vibe 🏔 🥾
I was the air traffic controller that morning for the Coastguard Helicopter Was a lovely morning, was admiring the mountains through the binoculars
Another great video Grace. Thank you. You really needed walking poles for the decent of Pen Yr Ole Wen, that is the best time to use them.
They were in my bag I didn’t even think 😂
Brilliant video , so pleased you had such good weather .
Really good video. I love the fact you didn't hide any part of your humanity as so many would. You and. Couple of other "youtubers" have inspired me to start my own and get out there. I think I need you to lead me over crib Goch lol
Great vlog grace ive done crib goch a couple of times never had weather like u had, looked amazing. ATB

Great video Grace. Looked like an amazing weekend!
Amazing, both terrifying incredible place to be. At the top of the world on a knife edge. A mammoth effort. Thanks for posting.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Snowdonia at its finest. Crib Goch looked like a fun ridge to do. You should go to Glen Coe next year, you would love it.
Thank for sharing, absolutely amazing footage from Crib Goch, well done and thank you 👍👍

Hi Grace ,well done !!! You picked an awesome day to tackle Crib Goch .......I duff my cap ma'am .
Ha thaaanks ☺️
Another great video Grace with stunning views. Love following your adventures and look forward to seeing more in 2022! Xx
Thanks Lou ☺️💛
Crib Gogh is on my 'to do list' even more so now ive seen your video. An early morning start should get those clouds i hope.
Thank you for all the videos this year, have a great festive period and a great new year.
Thank you ☺️ you too!
What an amazing day you got for it. I think it must be 30 years since i did crib goch, going to have to do it again at some point. So mant mountains to climb and so little time - i need to retire whilst i'm still fit enough.
Superb Video. Well done on Crib Goch, not as easy a scramble as some people think!
Another great film, really enjoy your channel, great inspiration and tips for all. Fenix Light should send you a LR35R for those low light descents👍. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks Kevin!
I did the miners path up snowdon yesterday and the scenery in the snow is unreal😍
One of my favourite routes to do is up Pen Yr Ole Wen, up to Carnedd Daffyd, round to Llewelyn, then east along the ridge, cutting down past the reservoir to the A5 then back along the A5 to the car. It’s a long day out but a great walk with some stunning views

@@GracesAdventures half jealous as it’s a great day out, half not as I’m not fit enough to do it myself at any point…
Great video, one of the best I've watched (Except the wild camps, they are awesome)
Loved the music on the approach! keep it up! Its rare to find youtubes except Hazey who do genuine videos without trying too hard!
Well done Grace. Crib Goch can be very unnerving and is most definitely a challenge which is not for the faint of heart. Amazing achievement 👏👏👏

Awesome film. That first descent in the dark had me worried. Be careful out there!
I am incredible jelouse :) Fantastic walk Crib Goch (I have made it twice in mixed conditions). Great job!
Cribs my last path up snowdon to do but ermm nope haha not yet . Maybe next year haha do the full horseshoe maybe down y llewedd
Seeing you smile throughout the video is making me smile, you can really tell you enjoy it! If and when you do a group hike in Yorkshire or the Lakes, I'll be sure to join you Grace. Keep on climbing 😊
That was auwsom! I never realized Great Britten had such terrain! You do a wonderful job!
Nice one, I enjoyed that 👍🙂💜
Crib Goch is next on my to do list after climbing up Cadar in the snow!
Amazing footage of spectacular views , I felt sick watching ye clamber over the ridge .
Haha job done then 🙌🏻😅
Hi Grace , just read about you in the Daily Post , what a load of tosh that paper prints .. keep doing what you are doing .. great videos

Everything is always Great in the mountains of North Wales. Happy Days x
It is indeed 🏴
Beautiful film well done on the climbs
Amazing video! Stunning views.
Great video Grace! I would have been on bum the whole time on that ridge 😨
Love Crib, Pen Yr Ole Wen is definitely on my list now after viewing it from the otherside like you for many hikes! Also made the best pizza decision in Betws!
well done great video. brave coming down there in the dark. i still think you did the right thing choosing the route that you know.
amazing cloud inversion.. seen all you posts on Instagram. Love your videos. 👏🏻 well done 😊
Well done Grace 👏 amazing
Keep chasing your dreams Grace.
I miss being surrounded by mountains, Having lived in New Zealand. Will have to do this next year. thanks for the Inso
Wow, love it, what a walk, good on ya girl 😉. I did crib goch and the horseshoe when I was 14 with some old guy I meet whilst walking with my parents, the rest of my family did the regular route with his wife!. It was awesome, but I’ve forgotten how awesome, thanks for reminding me, now subscribed so looking forward to more Gracie adventures and ideas 👍🍺
Well done Grace. I did Crib Goch back in 2006, and saw someone fall (badly injured, but survived thankfully), so haven't been back. But it's always a fantastic achievement, and a memory that'll stay with you for sure.
It’s a scary one at times but worth it when done safely 🙌🏻🙏🏻
We do appreciate it, thank you 😊⛰
Crib Goch was my first time in crampons with an inversion too , great day
Well done! Looked an awesome trip. 👍
Great video as always. I was there on that Saturday as well but I left the car park earlier as I wanted to see the sunrise from the summit. It was probably the last chance this year to enjoy such an amazing view with the low clouds and a clear sun rise.

i was up there in may and it was like the antarctic at the top, and the route you did looks well sketchy :)
Born in Bethesda, Gwynedd, I, along with a school mate, walked the Crib Goch route to the summit of Snowden. We were 14 and fearless. This young lady did brilliantly. And, no, I don't mean for a girl!😂 She's fearless!! 👍
Fantastic to watch your adventures Grace and very inspiring to get out on my own.
Love this - thanks Jane!
