3,560-foot Snowdon in Wales |
Accept no substitutes. This is the extant Mount Snowdon. It is the highest peak in Wales,
and it’s Welsh name is Yr Wyddfa, which means burial place. |

Welcome to Wales
This was our stairway to Snowdon |

The Crib Goch is Snowdon’s east ridge, and it provides a jocular, Class 3 scramble
on a peak that also offers multiple gourmet trails as well as a train to the summit. |

Ah! There is a climb up here in the clouds
One of the Crib Goch’s narrow pitches
Our biggest hazard on this day was the stiff wind |
 |
The Crib Goch Route crosses several summits, and we eagerly anticipated each new challenge |

In spite of persistent fog, wind, and rain, we found the summit of Snowdon |
