What did I find hard at Crib Goch? 

I just did this a couple days ago. No scrambling experience before this. I started down Pyg a 100 yards and turned around. I made up my mind and went for it. I was by myself and terrified the whole way. Things get real when turning around isn’t an option and I regretted my decision many times. I made it through and learned so much about myself. One of the greatest and most terrifying experiences of my life

What a spectacular view. Thanks for walking this ridge and filming it, because I sure as hell wouldn’t. 😅

I have walk up Snowden on 3 occasions now and used the miners / Pyg track. I do suffer with vertigo and would never go near Crib Goch. Someone once said to me “ you don’t have to have had a near death experience to have had an adventure “ Sound advice that was! Great footage and editing all the same.

What a lovely host! Fresh bread is a win in my book 🤘

I had i very unexpected encounter on Crib Goch back in the early 1960s. Set off from Pen y Pas early and was at the start of the knife edge before seeing anyone. Half way along i could hear someone approaching from the summit directions. For you youngsters - in those long distant days - you could hear people in their nailed boots for quite some distance ! The mist had taken away most of the view so i sat down and waited for someone to appear. Out of the mist came an older gentleman confidently striding along puffing on a pipe. As we exchanged pleasantries i was asstonished to see a Siamese cat appear and start rubbing himself on our legs. The older gent informed me that she always ventured into the mountains with him, was very happy on Crib Goch and had only once, when it was very icy, had to take refuge in his old Bergen. He informed me that puss had completed the Snownon Horseshoe many times and had even been to the top of Tryfan. We parted as he was walking back to Capel Curig where he was staying and wanted to have a bath before his dinner !😢

Good to see someone taking all possible precautions. Set off ultra early in midsummer - so maximum daylight. A dry day with very little wind. Anticipated and thought through how to stay safe whilst filming - hands free. Filming, and expensive equipment secondary to your safety. Buddied up on most dangerous section. Told others where you were going. Gained relevant fitness and experience on less demanding /dangerous routes prior to this. Used equipment and pack weight suitable for yourself and the challenge. Even doing all this, still challenging, still risky. Well done.

Did Crib Goch about 25 years ago, but in bright sunshine, dry rock, little wind. A pure joy. Watching it again , makes me wonder why I wasn't scared to death! A wonderful experiencence though. Try Tryffyn next door, a good climb.

I once saw a gentleman on Crib Goch coming from the opposite direction, as we passed I noticed he had flat soled office shoes on. Mental!

Brilliant 👌 I've been to the summit many times because worked on the cafe renovation some years ago but I've never even seen crib goch route before, now I understand why so many lose their lives there every year. You're a braver man than me, it was covered in snow until a warm spell a day or two before you went, but I guess you planned it that way. Fantastic footage. Thanks 👍

Those are some beautiful views but my gawd, I about crawled out of my skin on a couple of those shots with my fear of heights! Thank you for sharing. Even before I was disabled, I would never have the cojones to do something like that!

Fantastic way to see this challenging route. My husband - a former fell runner - has run over it! I would crawl in terror so enjoyed the adventure through your great video. Well done!.

A couple of scout leaders took me and some others up and along Crib Goch when I was 14. I loved it! My parents were horrified. I am horrified now. If anyone took one of my teenagers along there without prior mountain experience, I’d kill then!

I've done a couple of mountains in Wales, but nothing as scary as Crib Goch. Well done, and thanks for sharing your fantastic experience!

Wow that all looked amazing! I especially liked seeing the clouds come over the ridges almost like waterfalls. Thanks for sharing!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. So beautiful and breathtaking - even sitting here safe at home some of those shots got my heart pounding. Appreciate you bringing us along for the adventure! (btw, Great editing and presentation - I know so much extra work (mental and physical) goes into stitching together a smooth narrative and making sure you have the B-roll video to support the story. Very well done.)

My story with Crib Goch... In 2007 I came to UK and lived in a shared house. One of the tenants suggested to go to Snowdonia and he took me and other mate. I didn't know what Snowdonia was and I never did any climbing in my life so I took a rucksack with a beer inside it and put tshirt , shorts and adidas trainers on. Long story short, I found myself on the vertical wall climbing up with my mates above me and pieces of rocks flying down and nearly hitting my head. I knew there was no way back and I had to go up. I was shit scared like them and I was just praying not to die. My trainers were just unsticking. I think we climbed the worst possible way as we reached the top somehow from the side of the edge. I remember after that climb I wasn't scared of heights anymore, I could just walk at the edge of the roof of empire state building and wouldn't bother lol That was the most stupid risky thing I did in my life

Fantastic as usual Jack! Glad that you enjoyed Crib mate and good advise to try and semi-partner up with another when soloing. Beautiful footage, nice editing and commentary, class man. Looking forward to your next video.

The shots of the clouds cascading over the ridges brought back so many memories of climbing in Wales 40 years ago. Nothing has changed. Except for the technology for filming it, the extra safety provided by mobile phones, the clothing, the cafe... Thanks for braving it for us so we could enjoy it vicariously!

Very proud 👏🏼

I giggled so much at your beautiful northern narrative right at the scary bit with the ‘silly bugger’ drone. So glad you got across safe. You’re a bloody hero lad 😆 Stunning footage 🎥

Reminds me of some of Northern California USA. I live in the Southern San Joaquin valley of California. God bless you all

I've been enjoying your videos, really good content and always great information. Keep them coming

That was spectacular - fabulous filming and nail gripping.

This is what RU-vid is all about. Really appreciate the work you put in, your enthusiasm is infectious, thanks

What can I add. First of your vids I saw was of course the Strid, but kept it up on account of your excellent hiking vids. But this one, wow, "takes it to a whole new level". Keep it up!

Looks insane bro, glad you’re home safe ❤

Beautiful. Just be careful and stay safe. Your not soft. And couch surfer can say that but your doing it.

Great cloud inversion and like the time lapse photography. Excellent videoing and narration.

Good morning from Canada, Jack what out standing Drone footage,great commentary love your adventurous,,,,,,Thank you

we have some amazing terrain in our tiny little island, nice footage m8. glad to see you out again enjoying the best of our natural playground.. Keep safe..

Absolutely stunning! Great vid man!

Awesome view! Would love to try that hike

Looked beautiful - you were so lucky with the weather.

My house, top right at 1.09! I know John and Helen, lovely people. Glad you enjoyed a good Welsh ridge 😁

That was superb Jack, it’s quite some time since I went up there, your video brought back many memories. The cloud inversion was epic and a delight to see. Great work fella.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed watching. That was awesome, stunning cinematography. Those shepherd's huts are great. Stopped in a few in the Yorkshire dales and fell in love with them. Plan on stopping in as many as I can. They all have such different character.

Cracking video. Once my leg has fully healed from a motorbike accident i was in 3 months ago, i'm gonna have to give this one a go for sure

Just the most amazing watch, stunning👍

I’ve done Snowdon from Pen-y-pass a few times, and have always chickened out of Crib Goch. Well done🎉

Absolutely amazing 😮😊….. I’m in awe mate to be fair …..well done 👍🏻

Bloody hell pal nice job! I was getting tingles in my legs just watching on screen !

Brilliant!! My god that bring backs some memories. I'm glad you were able to land your drone you needed nerves of steel to do that. First time I climbed Crib Goch was with my dad, we climbed Snowden three times in a week each from different paths. I'm glad you teamed up with Chris, I see his comments. Well done to both of you. Great video, really enjoyed it Good luck from Spain!!

😱. That had my stomach churning. And hoping against hope that this is not the route my Daughter took, when she went up, and told me of her slight anxiety attack. Beautifully shot. And so glad you made it, safely. And the Drone did, too. 😉😊🏞🐶🐾

I've lived in the Lakes most of my life and walked many of the fells. That said, I still enjoy your videos and the way you present them. Stay safe lad. 👍

Well done 👍 I would not have survived that even in my younger days when I was mobile 😂great film making and I hope you come back to Wales soon 😊👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Enjoyed reliving this scramble. Thank you.

Watched this while eating breakfast, and got butterflies in my stomach just watching that ridge crossing. Looks precarious!

Very impressive achievement. Thanks for letting us tag along. There are clearly some edgy places in your area.

Wow, that was awesome!!! If I'd known about that place before emigrating from the UK, I'd have done that walk, once at least. That was stunning! Been living in Brazil since 2009, love it here and it takes a lot to make me wish I was back over there but that's certainly how I felt watching this. Looks like you picked a great day for it too!

Looks amazing! Both times I've done Snowden (latest this past Easter) the top has been in the clouds with zero view. Hopefully one day I'll get the enjoy the view from the top.

This is really cool, mate! Thanks for bringing us along!

This was awesome - well done

Looked absolutely stunning! You still wouldn’t catch me up Crib though. I’m glad I could enjoy it through your video though, nice work.

Was great to meet you up there 😃 great video.

You're awesome Jack Well done my friend amazing video

Amazing Jack was holding my breath 😄 stunning aerial views. Thank you for taking us along. Pleased you managed to get your drone.

Underrated channel

Cracking Video!! some amazing shots ive done snowdon 5 times but never the Crib! i doff my cap sir well done!💪💪👊👊

Well done mate, looks amazing

Fair play, I haven't done snowdon as of yet....hopefully this year though I might fingers crossed, good to see some more content too.

Fair fucking play for saving that drone! My scared ass would’ve left that 😂

Way cool and beautiful , I was saying a prayer 🙏 for you. I'm happy you had an awsome time and the bread looked good , you are a awsome person 😊 😀. Thanks for sharing , I enjoyed your video and as I do your other videos.

Glad you were able to safely recover the drone! Love the content and the fresh bread looked amazing 😊

The back of a dragon 🐉

Stunning video images, thank you for posting jack a snacks.

Awesome vlog, I've walked to Summit twice Llanberis way, even when I was a Teenager or in 20s I wouldn't attempt Crib Gogh way. Just watching this I get pains in Hamstrings

Really nice job 👍

Always great content from this man

Fascinating!

Excellent video, won't be doing that on my crutches

when I did that last pinnacle I did not look down, watching your POV made me glad that I didn't, such an epic route though, but as you said its not for the faint hearted.

Kin Jesus H. Mate, that's terrifying. 😲

Walked up snowden in 1967 when I was Ten . Too young to be scared then, aahhh the past.

All the UK mainland ridge walks tend to look worse than they are until you're on them, and none are technically difficult, but the exposure can be scary to those who aren't used to it, or who don't like heights. I'm too old for it now, but before my health got the better of me, I found I had to go to increasingly remote places to escape the crowds. People have much more mobility these days, and that may tempt some to be too ambitious in their hillwalking adventures.

Da iawn Jack! 👏🏼🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great channel you have bro interesting vids keep it up ❤️

Awesome jack 👏

Crib Goch is one of Britain's greatest and most accessible (needs zero training) natural adrenaline rushes.

Great video 😁 I think I’m one of the people who mentioned the crib on one of your earlier videos sorry about pressuring you 😁 Loved doing the crib, and I’m hoping to do it again this year , just holding out for a new insta 360 x3 😁👍🏼

tackled this in the Jan snow a few weeks back. Best day on the hills ever

Aonach Eagach next then? 😜

"Very Well Done" young man.

The area had a special feeling to it in the early light. But the land seems bleak compared to your Lake District. Take care, please!

Thank you Jack.

Best video yet mate

Absolutely duperb ...

Good work. I get vertigo, but I love Crib Goch. I don't like ladders at all, but I've done Crib Goch a few times and i will be doing it again. Tryfan north ridge next then?

Fabulous achievement. I know I'll never do it, more's the pity.

That makes Cumbria look like a kiddies playground Jacky boy. Bloody well done lad. 😁

Excellent film Jack Crib I’d a beast especially the three pinnacles at the end of the ridge 🏔️ The footage was lush m8t (definitely worth sacrificing the drone for it if necessary 😱) Assuming you could of retrieved it ? The air BnB was lovely m8t 👍 did you get any sleep before the climb? I never do 🥹 All the best Simon 🤠👍🏔️

Watching Dive Talk in prep :)

Omg the imagery you got is amazing. You should be super chuffed with yourself

Glad Snowdonia proved to be King 🥰

I’m afraid of heights. I couldn’t even watch you making the climb on video! I tried….but wimped out!

Nice video mate

I've lived near here for 30 years and never done Crib Goch. It's called the Red Ridge for a reason. It catches many people off guard every year.

Aw man, you are such a cutie. I'd love to meet you atop a mountain.

I was going to try this hike but I think it's out of my bounds I will just do the pyg track I think what drone do you use thanks

oh my goodness

No...just HELL NO! Just watching this makes it necessary for me to go unclench my nether regions.
