You move on a good line, at the right pace, with clear decisions on exposed ground. No big groups. No treating Crib Goch like a tourist queue. Just confident movement and careful coaching. “What an amazing experience. I would highly recommend going with Mountain Craft. He knew the mountain inside out, we did Crib Goch, and as exposed as it was, Jacob made the trip safe and memorable.” – Tim ⸻ THE ROUTE, 14KM, 1200M, 7 TO 8 HOURS Pen y Pass to Pyg Track to Crib Goch Crib y Ddysgl to Garnedd Ugain to Yr Wyddfa Watkin Path to Y Lliwedd to Miners Track A full, committing circuit. No shortcuts. ⸻ THIS IS NOT A CASUAL HIKE Serious exposure. Big drops. Hands-on movement. A long mountain day. You need strong fitness, a steady head for heights, and the ability to move on rough ground for several hours. Not suitable for complete beginners. ⸻ HOW WE MANAGE THE DAY We use small groups, careful timing, and route decisions based on the conditions. Most dates start at 08:30. Earlier starts may be agreed with the group where useful. If Crib Goch is not right on the day, we adapt and choose a high-quality Grade 1 scramble or mountain route elsewhere in Eryri. You still get a proper mountain day. ⸻ WHAT YOU GET Full day guiding and coaching, max 1:4 Pre-trip logistics and parking advice Local knowledge and movement coaching Weather-aware route decisions A day that runs regardless of numbers ⸻ PRIVATE BOOKINGS Private Crib Goch, scrambling progression, and Snowdon Horseshoe days are available from £275. Useful for people who want a quieter date, a more personal pace, or a day shaped around confidence, movement and previous experience.
