Crib Goch & The Snowdon Horseshoe

NO BIG GROUPS. NO CONVEYOR BELT. JUST CAREFUL MOVEMENT ON THE RIDGE. Crib Goch is exposed, committing, rough underfoot, and unforgettable in the right conditions.

Clear movement. A proper mountain day. JULY TO OCTOBER 2026 | MAX 1:4 £95 per person. Guaranteed to run.

Also available: guided Tryfan North Ridge and Moel Siabod (Daear Ddu Ridge) scrambling days throughout the summer. WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT I’ve completed nearly 200 traverses of Crib Goch, including a sub-2 hour Snowdon Horseshoe. No big groups. No treating Crib Goch like a tourist conveyor belt. Just careful movement, clear judgement and coaching throughout the day. “What an amazing experience. Jacob knew the mountain inside out and made Crib Goch safe and memorable.” Tim THE ROUTE Pen y Pass, Crib Goch, Crib y Ddysgl, Garnedd Ugain, Yr Wyddfa, Y Lliwedd and back via the Miners Track. Around 14km, 1,200m of ascent, 7-8 hours. A full, committing circuit. No shortcuts. THIS IS NOT A CASUAL HIKE You need good hill fitness, a steady head for heights and the ability to move confidently on rough ground for several hours. Not suitable for complete beginners. HOW WE MANAGE THE DAY Small groups, careful pacing and route decisions based on the conditions. If Crib Goch isn’t appropriate on the day, we’ll choose an equally rewarding Grade 1 scramble or mountain route elsewhere in Eryri. You still get a proper mountain day. PRIVATE BOOKINGS Private Crib Goch, Tryfan, Snowdon Horseshoe and advanced scrambling days are available from £375.
