Thought I would climb back up to the Snowdon Horseshoe, and finish a bit more of the route, I’d started on tuesday but had run out of daylight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Starting from my bunkhouse in the village of Nant Peris, I climbed up the slope, east from the road until it became quite a scramble. This got me to the route, taken by the Snowdon railway at Clogwyn Station. Then up another 1000 foot to Garnedd Ugain.<\/p>\n

After a drink and a cheese sandwich, I descided to have a crack at Crib Goch.<\/p>\n

OS ref: SH624552<\/p>\n

This is a rock sharp edge, about a mile long with huge verticle drops on both sides. So very scarey!<\/p>\n

Some folks do this bit, standing up, balancing with arm outstretched. Me, I did it as a scramble on all-fours.<\/p>\n

There is a break in the picture series here, while on concentrated on what I was doing. It was a nice day, with a bit of wind up there. If it’s at all windy, you just don’t go that way!!<\/p>\n

The rest of the time, that afternoon, was spent trying to get back down the valley to Pen-y-Pass and then on the Llanberis. Easy, I thought. But I kept coming upon cliffs of shear drops, and then had to climb back up my route to try again a bit further along. Quite tiring, but did it, then back to the bunkhouse for a little lie down.<\/p>\n
