Crib Goch is one of 8 routes up to the summit of Mount Snowdon, the highest peak in Wales at 1,085m. The route has been described as "one of the finest ridge walks in Britain", but it is not for the fainthearted.
In this video I take on Crib Goch for the first time, solo, in the cloud and mist. It was a challenging experience on more than one level as I fought to deal with my mental health on the way. But in truth, it was a groundbreaking experience. I had the skills and abilities to more than comfortably see myself over the ridge, and in the process, I learnt some powerful life lessons.
If you have been inspired to take on Crib Goch, please ensure you are adequately kitted out (and know how to use that gear), have previous experience on steep and rocky terrain, and checked the weather forecast before you go to ensure safe conditions.

Terrifying, and completely foolish

@mattm8765 8 месяцев назад

@@MKRM27 Certainly for someone not used to climbing like this but based on the video and all her other videos of her doing the same thing she seems very capable and aware of her surroundings and the constant risks. Foolish would be copying her without the right prep and years of experience.

Respect! You captured brilliantly the exposure on Crib Goch - and to do it with a camera in your hand and then repeat sections. Just awesome.

@AbbieBarnesWILD 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@johnalden5821 2 года назад

I have to echo and agree with you comment. This was one of Abbie's finest films, from both a content and a production standpoint. Wow. I noticed also that she actually posted the camera and then WENT BACK to get the shot of her walking. That made my head spin.

@maheshsponpanal3410 Год назад

Absolutely agree with you . There are no videos in here showing the steepness of Crib Goch like this. What a wonderful job ..

@donnabullock2066 2 года назад

We are in awe of your strength, resilience, determination and attitude. Well done. We are an older couple from Australia who have walked 10 of your national trails, and climbed all the 2,000 ft and above in England and Wales - except Pillar Rock in the Lake District. That was beyond me. We are homing in on 70 years old, so have to be careful. I hate that this Covid virus has stopped our annual travel to the UK and beyond - but we must all be patient. You have allowed us to walk and climb with you. Thank you so much. You are fast becoming a 'legend'. Love from D &D , Victoria, Australia XX

@MrChrisallen300 2 года назад

Wow Abbie, that was incredible! Not just a brilliant Crib Goch film probably the best I've seen, but also a powerful and thought provoking mental health message too. You are amazing!

@hikingwiththeshackletons 2 года назад

Doing that with someone else is one thing, but doing it alone in such harsh conditions is something truly special, you young lady are a true inspiration. Keep telling yourself exactly what you were saying up there “one breath & one step at a time” I had a tear in my eye when you were getting emotional. Lots of love The Shackletons. ❤️❤️

@AbbieBarnesWILD 2 года назад

Thank you!!

@MKRM27 Год назад

It really doesn’t make it a greater achievement doing it in those conditions, in your own. It actually makes it foolish, not special.

@elizabethchapman9523 9 месяцев назад

Have you walked it? It maybe foolish to you, but I admire her for doing it!!! It maybe not be up to everyones taste and certainly not mine, but you should not criticise and your comment " not special " is not very tactful is it? Each to their own.

Abbie, there are so many people who are incredibly talented, yet make nothing of it. They have become used to relying on their talents, which prevents them from ever accomplishing greatness. Only those who are willing to use their talents in order to pursue greatness will ever accomplish truly outstanding things in life. you have shown this in you ability and I for one salute you `Inspiring you are

@thewanderingforester 2 года назад

I've done Crib Goch a few times and have been finding it more and more sketchy as I've got older. Last time I definitely didn't get any points for style, winds were stronger than forecast! It's not a trivial undertaking at all and you've done fantastically well to film it as well as you have. Stay Strong and ATB.

@elizabethchapman9523 9 месяцев назад

I admire you and several times too. Not for me, but I "take my hat of "to anyone who has walked and clambered across Crib Goch. It feels me with horror lol. Even gave me vertigo watching Abbie walk it lol.

@ashmaybe9634 2 года назад

How you manage to film while scrambling (with two cameras!) and deal with your head is incredible. I suffer from poor mental health also, and the mountains help me also, and I know what its like to turn around or never even leave the house because my head is bad. But when it goes right, it's a major win. Thank you. Never stop.

TY Abbie. I only go to places to hike after watching your videos as it helps me massively and does not leave things to surprise. Love that. Ade x

@fionam7087 Год назад

Watched this while on holiday in north wales last night and felt totally inspired by you. Decided to take on the Watkin Path - at the current limit for me as I’m terrified of heights. When I felt my nerve slipping I repeated some positive words to tell myself that I could do it, as I had seen you do. Honestly got me through it. Amazing day, thank you so much.

At the end of the day we are all human with needs and fears. You are a rock and I think that's the first walk I have watched for quite a while (Ben Nevis via CMD!) Keep on doing what you are doing. All power to your elbow and know that there are so many people right behind you.

@veejo9535 2 года назад

I am so impressed with what you achieved this day both physically and mentally. I’ve seen a video made by someone else trekking Crib Goch on a clear, sunny day and the visible sheer drops are absolutely terrifying. I do suffer with vertigo but I know I could not have tackled that climb and you did it carrying a camera, awesome. Deep respect, you done well on all counts girl!

@Jez2008UK 2 года назад

When I saw you going up there with the clouds ahead (no way!) and the camera and tripod (and stick!) in one hand, I said "no, no way!". Well done. It's on my bucket list of things I want to achieve.

Massive respect to you. I climbed it with my teenage son and 12 year old daughter last August, on a clear day with no wind. Watching you overcome each obstacle, physical and mental brings back lots of memories. We were able to support each other which is a big thing, whereas you had only yourself to rely on. 👍🏼

This is quite possibly the most powerful thing I have watched on RU-vid. Absolutely well done Abbie, and for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us.

Hey! You did a great job of recording your hike along the ridge. Despite the mental and physical challenge the mountain presented, you took in the great scenery and landscapes, showcasing the ridges best features. I'm glad the cloud lifted for a short while. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey. I have to admit, I'm not brave enough to tackle Crib Goch, far too scary for me. Well done on overcoming the challenges that happened during the hike, you did so incredibly well. Your life does have worth, you are important and bring much joy to others through your videos. Looking forward to watching your future videos Abbie. Go well... xx

I admire your fortitude, the way you coaxed yourself through the tough sections. As in life we all have moments of doubt and question our worthiness. You have to start with belief in yourself, acceptance of who you are and not try to be a people pleaser. That’s not to say be selfish, one should be selfless. Your videos are honest, insightful and funny. Please give yourself a huge hug and pat on the back. Keep the content coming.

Although it was important that I took the decision to climb it by myself, I did take inspiration from you. I am a mental health nurse and fully appreciate the importance of looking after your mental health. I would be lying if I said it was enjoyable because it wasn't. Having said that, I was extremely satisfied with achievement. Thank you Abbie. Thank you for the inspiration.
