An ascent on Mount Snowdon via the infamous Crib Goch route to see just how scary it is. Approaching from the pen-y-pass car park and via the pyg track, we tackled the infamous ridge towards the summit to be met with some spectacular weather and storm clouds at the summit. Followed by a descent down a lesser known and particularly treacherous wet grassy path towards the Nant Peris cark park on the flanks of the Mountain. A great day with the ridge living up to it's name.
Crib Goch is not to be messed about with.

That's a great video. There are not that many decent videos of Crib Goch that show what it is really like.

@alantierney Год назад

Yeah I think a lot of people use a fish eye wide angle. Kind of ruins it. Thanks for the comment.

@sdemosi 7 месяцев назад

This is great because it's going to give someone thinking of doing this a realistic view of what it's like. Depending on the weather it's terrifying.

@alantierney 7 месяцев назад

Yeah. Its not something you want to walk into unknowingly.

@philipburke1708 Год назад

One of the best videos I've seen showing the the crux of the CG route. Well done - no mean feat.

@alantierney Год назад

Thanks for the comment. It's a great route for a challenge.

I did Crib Goch some years ago when I was a lot fitter, best experience ever the views are spectacular, you will need a good head for hightes. Well done you two great video.

It’s certainly not something you forget in a hurry i know that much. Not for everyone either. Thanks for the comments.

@daddyd7351 Год назад

Fantastic video, and an absolute hats off to you both, and indeed, every single person brave enough to take on the Crib Goch challenge. Nerves of steel for sure! Think I'll stick to the Pyg Track but thanks for a cracking upload mate 😊

@alantierney Год назад

It's not something I plan on regularly either 🤣 thanks for the comment. ATB 👍

Well done you two , brilliant video . Well filmed, it shows how nasty that ridge really is . Great views , the last time I was up there you couldn’t see a hand in front of you . The mist was that bad . Again , great video 👍

@alantierney 4 месяца назад

Yeah I’ve seen it like that myself. More scary like that i think. For a knife ridge it can confuse you still in the mist. Thanks for the comment👍🏻

Nice video! That little series of exposed steps on the right hand of the second turret was the moment I felt most exposure, as even though you're facing the wall and it takes only a few hundred seconds to traverse I was fair conscious of that drop behind me. The secondary scramble onto Ganard Uggain was amazing fun and felt incredibly safe after the airyness of the second turret.

@alantierney Год назад

Yeah. I think it's the worst bit. Its hard to convey on a video. They lack the sense of depth. But for a small part that feels like you could be vertical climbing there. Terrifying. Makes you wonder why you bother really 🤣

This is one of the best Crib G vids. Thought yiu did a really good review of the overall route. I did it with a friend ( who had a better head for heights than me ) when it was good weather and I was around 48 years of age. It reminded me of our time there- your advice on staying calm is really solid advice. I remember going up the buttress and then realising that it was easier doing the ridge than giing down the buttress. Once done it was very rewarding - but it is pretty scary. Top job you 2

@alantierney 4 месяца назад

Yeah i think the buttress is the worst bit myself. Because you cant really turn back without going over the whole lot again. In reverse down a scramble. Thanks for the comment

@chrishowells1773 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the great video. I could never attempt that route and I'm full of admiration for anyone with the bravery and head-for-heights to undertake this route.

@alantierney 4 месяца назад

It’s not to be underestimated. Likewise it’s not for everyone. I think believing you can do it is half the battle. Thanks for the nice comment 👍🏻

@mathematicschaos Месяц назад

Superb video. Appreciated your very honest commentary. Went up the Pyg and down the Miners with my wife a couple of years back and fancy trying CG next time.

@alantierney Месяц назад

Thanks. It’s worth a go. Just don’t underestimate it if you don’t like heights

My knees are wobbly just watching that.. I’m doing crib goch in the near future and this vid puts it into true perspective.. excited and terrified at the same time 😂 Thanks mate gr8 film ..

@alantierney 11 месяцев назад

At least you know what you're getting yourself into. You'll be fine 🤣

That Llanberis track down takes for ever

@alantierney Год назад

Yeah, i'm not a massive fan. Prefer most the other routes before that one.

@doogyrev 3 месяца назад

As others have suggested, I think that’s the most accurate representation of a ‘stroll’ across the ‘Red Ridge.’ Really good! Still laughing at Gemma’s response to you suggesting you needed some milk 🤣

@alantierney 3 месяца назад

Ye i think some people use fisheye cams which skew it to make it look worse. And thats classic gemma really. 🤣

Smashed it peeps well done!🎉

Maybe easier in winter with the old Spiderman shoe grips and ice axe fall stopper. Wet greasy rock is deadly here.

@alantierney 11 месяцев назад

I've not tried traversing something like that in winter before. But I do agree. Polished wet rock is unbelievably treacherous.

@Wuldier 4 месяца назад

its actually not easier.. ive done this in all seasons, and conditions, its crazy in all to be honest, but the snow and ice isnt thick enough on them rocks up there in most winters, so its worse as you cant always see what rocks you are placing your crampons onto and it all falls away from in in pretty large amounts at times lol.

You're a braver man than I. Cadair Idris via The Pony Path is my limit.

To be fair. That is very steep. 🤣

Sweaty palms on that one. Best wishes.

Is it not unusual to fall off crib goch?

@alantierney 6 месяцев назад

Not really. It happens probably too regularly. You can see the rescue chopper over it quite often as well.

@justaguy9451 6 месяцев назад

@alantierney will be doing it this year. All of my demons (symbolic) are on crib goch. I either emerge victorious or not at all. I will respect what I am doing, take my time, 3 points of contact. Most of all I will be calm. It will be a sunny day with no wind and will wear knee, elbow forearm and lower leg armour. Possibly a helmet. Will start at dawn so I am not worried about being caught after dark.

@alantierney 4 месяца назад

Just seen this. I hope it goes well. Now is good with all the light and warm weather
