I very rarely add comments, however very much impressed by your video. It nice to have someone who explains the little difficulties, gets tired, worried, etc. instead of just a glowing report. Made me feel like I was there (done it a few times, but now a bit old and 5 hour drive to get there). Obviously will look at your other broadcasts, but unlikely to visit Scotland before I peg it 73 years. Many blessings Syre!
Hi Ron, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Always appreciated. My ethos is to always be honest, it doesn't always go to plan. From time to time you'll get lost or in this case get a bit confused with the route finding it. All to often social media paints it as conquers this and smashed that, it's not accurate. Hope you can get up to Scotland, there's so much to do up here. Take care and thanks again.
Excellent video, showing this beautiful landscape the respect it deserves. Anybody who's walked in these mountains will relate to moments of fear and the frustrations of disappearing paths! Thanks
Anne was a savage!! Well done guys. Never ever doing it myself though 😂 I've watched numerous videos of people climbing Crib Goch and I've realised I'm more of a walk around the lake followed by a nice cup of tea and a biscuit kinda guy ☕️☺️
There are so many variables on a walk like this. Weather, fitness, confidence, experience, unexpected injury. The list goes on and on. Thankfully you two made it safely back. Respect!
Really good to see you tackling the full horseshoe, Robin. Has to be done, really. ;-) Glad to also hear your honest experiences of Crib Goch - those pinnacles are not to be underestimated. When I did it, I think I felt pressured by a group of very confident people who'd caught up behind us. Looking forward to your next and thanks for sharing.
Cheers Olly, I know what you mean we got passed a few times, there would have been more traffic at the weekend, so we're both glad we headed down to Wales midweek.
Great vid - I did CG a few years ago and didn’t really enjoy it until I was over it - the ‘bad step’ on the way up is a mental challenge because it feels very much like you’ve committed to the ridge then and you won’t be going back down the same route - also I recommend doing it for the first time in fine weather - obviously route finding on a ridge should be straightforward but it does make it easier if you know the weather is going to hold out
Cheers mate, I know what you mean about the initial pull up, you are kinda commited to do the ridge after that as it wouldn't be a pleasant down climb. What frustrated me as we'd done it before but forgot the route off the last pinnacle then a bit of panic set in. The narrow arete isn't difficult at all as long as you have a head for heights.
Hi Robin, Good 2c even the best can come unstuck, when I did Crib Goch I was young and fit, on the right of the ridge was thick mist so could only see the drops on the left a strange situation, it was a fine scramble but wouldn't fancy doing it now with limited mobility, I also really enjoyed doing Tryfan on my trip! I can fully understand Anne's issues it is a lot tougher as you get a little older and less agile, I get temporarily stuck on the gully on Arthur's Seat as couldn't get a hand hold and a weak left leg! Ohh what fun getting older! Great video Robin! Take care.Mark Shaw.
Hey Mark, it's quite cool when the mist clings to one side of the ridge like that. Tryfan is another one I haven't managed to get a good day on, I'd like to try the North ridge next time. Is that the gully you take from near the crags?
Good going Robin and Anne. Blimey some parts were tougher going than in Scotland. I can appreciate the rattling on Crib Goch - enough to make anyone sense their mortality. Well, good to see you get back down safe after the other peaks. You live to fight another day. All the best bro. Mark
Cheers Graham. I think we should have done Tryfan and the Glyderau on the first day and it wouldn't have been nearly as wet, then got our heads down on the Carnedds.
yeah that pinacle bit the left looked inviting and the right has a gnarly step up but much easier, I need to get back up there soon, great horseshoe route, nice video :)
Cheers M&M. I'm pretty sure we took that route first time around and whilst it looks daunting, it's not that bad in the end. The whole route is brilliant though. Possibly in my top 10 circuits.
So glad the mist didn't descent on this day, Robin. Looks like it was hard work, but you were certainly rewarded with those views! Well done to both of you!
About 20 years ago I did ML course when I was in the Army ,we did Crib Gogh in a full white out . I was a lot younger then .. Last year ,I went up Scarfell .On the way back instead of using my map and compass ,I sacked it and just walked off into a Valley towards where I thought my car was parked . I ended up going through two rock flows and cut my legs and feet to bits .If I had slipped and broken or twisted my ankle or knees I would.have been up shxt creek . I got complacent and it nearly cost me ..a lot as it was also getting dark. I didnt (plan) any of it etc . Lesson learned the hard way.
It just goes to show you, how quickly it can go wrong if you make one mistake. Can see why a lot of people who don't bother with learning to use a map and compass get into bother quickly.
You got away with it fortunately. I made an arse of myself using a 'creative' route down Cadair Idris with my wife a few years back. She is not as fit as me and really struggled. The responsibility weighed heavily on me and I wasn't in her good books for a few days. We had a story to tell but we definitely dodged a bullet there.
Brilliant footage loved every second - well done!!! I love snowdon I've been over ten times - pyg .. miners & Llanberis!! Any tips for crib goch would be great 👍
Cheers Mike. Just take your time and take the right route on that third pinnacle where we got a bit lost. You'll be fine, if it's the weekend there will be plenty people to follow. 😊
Nice mate, you got good weather for it. I know exactly where you were when you got confused, I also went down that gulley as I thought it was as the only way! 😅 thanks for sharing mate, nice to see it not in the clouds ☁️
am getting the fear just from watching! never had a fear of heights though, i just enjoy the ride. seen this Horseshoe when i was Fell Walking around Snowdonia. wish i had of tried it now.
I’m good with heights too, bit of a nervy scrambler with down climbs but on the whole Crib Goch and the Aonach Eagach are a just about my comfort zone, the latter just outside.
Done Snowdon via Crib Goch years ago. Remember it was a bit of a brown trouser job. Weather was bad so no visibility, maybe wasn’t a bad thing! Great stuff as usual. Regards Brian🤠
Loved your Vlog, I love Crib. On the third pineapple you scramble up the right hand side, big drop bellow but good steps and hand holds. Watch the polished rock with trainers on.
Great watch. Much prefer seeing those ridges from the comfort of my sofa 🛋 😊. You two did amazing. Never be embarrassed about it. Glad you both got back safely. Stunning video, beautiful views 💗🥾
Some great wide angle views there Robin, well done to you and Ann. I cant believe I used to skip around there and plenty of times too. Not been for years and dought ill do it again. Thanks Robin. 👍
Cheers Dave, it is good fun isn't, involved without being too involved. I made sure not to give that fish eye effect that gives the perception the ridge is much more narrow than it actually is.
Great video Robin. Respect for being so honest about the experience. It’s often more difficult when you’re with someone else as you feel so responsible for them. The horseshoe was my first ever walk in Wales in November 2016. Did it solo took me 6hrs and couldn’t see a thing. Nice one bud. ATB Dave
Thanks Dave, definitely important to give an honest account of these routes to give people researching a balanced idea. 6hrs you must have flew around it. Saying that when there's nothing to see there's no point hanging around.
Great film Robin looks mental that ridge walk i have watched many YT films of it over the years and it is a rival of the AE ridge i would say. I was at the summit of Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa years ago and i hadn't really heard of the Crib Goch route at the time and i got talking to a party who had walked it with a guide and i could see the fear and relief in all of their eyes and no wonder!
Cheers Pete. 👍🏻 The Aonach Eagach is definitely the next level up. Crib Goch probably sits between the CMD Arete and the Aonach Eagach. Some people skip along these ridges, no fear and others are terrified then folk in the middle like me. 😂 . 👀
Well done Robin & Anne, some knee pads would have came in handy there for Anne, a tough route on the ankles, knees and hips, you both smashed it, Happy Days. ATB.
Was that helicopter for the guy who fell from Crib Goch back in 2021? Another hiker fell to their death the previous month. Not for the faint of heart.
Brilliant footage as usual I really enjoyed it. I live in South Wales and travel to the Highlands a lot just come back from a great trip to Ben Aden fantastic weather I put a bit on my channel but having done snowdonia to death in the eighties and nineties I have neglected the area since as I love the highlands so your clip as inspired me to go back to snowdonia soon so cheers look forward to watching your next trip cheers
Cheers Andrew, Snowdonia is best left for the week days, getting like that in Scotland too in the honey pot areas. Ben Aden has been on my radar for ages, I'll need to check out your vid now.
We approached from loch Quoich We had good dry weather so the ground was good and rivers low the second river could be difficult in spate camped past the dam and next day climbed Ben Aden up rocky ridge then around some amazing ground up to Sgurr na Ciche then onto Garbh Chioch Mhor then descended to bealach then descended west down Coire Nan Gall where our tent was next day we walked out so we took three days bearing in mind I am approaching 60 and my bro is 70 you could do it in less days we’ll take care keep the trips coming on your channel they honestly kept me going during lockdown playing your backcatolog of tripscheers
Always wanted to do Crib Goch, specially on a day like that, unreal views! Hats off to both of you for getting over without anything major and local knowledge is always a bonus. I hope that helicopter was just practicing and what a horseshoe that was, the weather and the views were just getting better and better, cheers Alan
Very good to watch, thanks! I’ve ‘done’ Snowden about 30 times, and always avoided that route…one excuse being it’s almost always wet when I go late in August.
Well done Robin. Crib Goch is certainly not for the faint hearted. Really enjoyed seeing the footage from your eyes as it provided a real sense of what a challenge it is. I can imagine in bad weather, it could be quite extreme. I’m still on the fence as to whether to give it a go. I enjoy a nice scramble, but less so when there is a much higher risk of injury or worse!
Cheers Anthony, I suppose the one good thing is the scrambling isn't difficult at all, it's just the exposure and the thought of one slip. No danger you'd get me up there in wet conditions. 👀
Another great video Robin. How are you getting on with your Keen NXIS boots. Would be interested in your views as I'm on the lookout for a decent pair at the moment. Cheers
Cheers Euan. I'm loving the NXIS boots so far. Comfortable and I enjoy the flexibility of the mid boot. They've had some tough mountain terrain recently in Wales and Skye and they're only just beginning to show some very minor wear and tear.
Got to try that one, went up Snowden a week ago and loved it, great workout for the legs too. Got separated and lost on the way down though. I was surprised how busy it was, and didn't know you can get a train up there ! There was a cafe too but it was shut.
Note to self! I’m not doing Crib Goch. Heart in my mouth on that one mate. Fairplay to you for keeping going Robin. Even the wife told me ‘your not taking me the **** up there’ 😂🤷🏻♂️
Anne reminds me of my attempt of Crib Goch. Anxious, out of my comfort zone and on all fours much of the route. Comes down to lack of experience of exposure.
Brilliant video Robin. Looked good. Wouldn't fancy that in the wet like. I find the older I get, the more I've lost my bottle. When you are young and single you tend not to care as much. I think you handled it just fine pal.
Cheers mate, appreciate that and I hope know what you mean about getting older and losing your bottle a bit. I think I'd struggle on the Aonach Eagach now, even though I've done it 3 times before and found it about my level.
I’m 19 and on for my second scramble I did tryfan. I know that’s not impressive but I personally found it terrifying at points. I’d say I have average/above average fitness but I don’t really have much confidence and I’m not so great with heights. I’m terrified of falling off and I was wondering if anyone has advice for overcoming fears of this type of walk?
Just spend more time on the mountains, but don't throw yourself in at the deep end doing something like Tryfan or Crib Goch, if you're based near Snowdonia, then Moel-Siabod has some easy scrambling. Look at mountains that have some exposure but not any difficult scrambles. Might be worthwhile booking a guide to help.
Correct mate, two others went that way and it looked fine, but at the time I didn't feel confident getting Anne over the 3rd pinnacle as she wasn't in a good place.
Looks great Robin, well done amazing views. Will look through some more of your videos. I am just starting to get into TH-cam really had it for years but wasn’t really putting anything on or checking it much.
No too bad now Robin, I have been off work since end of August last year as I have had long Covid and other complications so I haven’t really been travelling or doing much. I deactivated Facebook ages ago will get back to it eventually once I get back to work and back on my travels. I have loads of photos & videos from previous trips I have been sorting out. Hope to be getting back work soon & back to normal. Hope you are keeping well and enjoying your walks.
Heights shown in metres - wish it has been in feet. I can relate to that. I did the Horseshoe with my dad in 1981. (The w/e of the 'Royal Wedding' which we were escaping.) Now after the arrete shown in this film I know I had to walk along a ledge at one point. When I looked down from this ledge I couldn't see the ground - there was a heavy mist or low clouds. In this mist/clouds I could see circular rainbows. It was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. It was a long way down, even to the clouds. I asked my dad about the ledge walkway afterwards and he casually told me people had been blown off it in the past! We got to Snowdon where people were near ambling up. I was relieved and my fear of heights somewhat lessened (at least for a time). My dad's no longer with us - but the memory of that climb (especially the arrete and the ledge) is still very much with me. Can anyone help me with my memory here please? I don't want to have to do that again!
I probably should use metric and imperial, opt for metric to match our maps. 🗺 I wouldn't fancy the conditions you experienced 40 years ago, that doings grim. I suppose the mist swirling around would hide some of the exposure.
@@WalkWithWallace - In fact I was looking down at least a hundred foot to the clouds! Otherwise the day was beautiful. It was very odd and has stayed with me!
Saved the best till last eh. Great video bud. Looked a cracking walk.😎 Crib Goch looks abit like the Forcan ridge eh. Nice honest account of your experience. Looked a mare coming aff it. Defo would love tae do that horseshoe one day. Maybe oan ma 2nd trip to Wales. 😉
Good to see a bit of Wales with you. Thanks and well done for overcoming the fear Robin and helping your friend too! That was a long day with some beautiful and dramatic views. I think it looks fairly similar to Scottish hills though so with current petrol prices I just stay up here:-]
Spectacular scenes there pal. CG looked awesome there. It was wreathed in mist when I did it and I didn't enjoy it a great deal. Quick question Robin, where would it fit in terms of challenge, exposure, difficulty, fun, etc, with the following, An Teallach, Am Fasarinen, Aonach Eagach, Black Cuillin, etc?.
Cheers Chris. 😁 👍🏻 An Teallach, Liathach and the Aonach Eagach are all a step up in difficulty from Crib Goch (grade 2 scramble). The first two offer a bypass path to avoid most of the difficulties though. Aonach Eagach like Crib Goch, you're pretty much committed to finish the ridge. I hired a guide for most of the the Black Cuillin. 🧗♂️
Another enjoyable film Robin - nice to see a seasoned Scotsman on some ground familiar to me! How would you rate CG against the Forcan Ridge, Aonach Eagach, Liathach? I still have these left on my to-do list. Cheers, Allan.
Great series Robin! I'm from Snowdonia but have lived in Leith for over 20 years now. If you're ever down in Wales again you should give Cadair Idris a shot. It's nothing too challenging but, it's a great day out and the views are hard to beat. Maybe plan a camp up there... Look up what legend says happens if you do.
Cheers Robin. I think the next trip down to Wales will be to do some of the Rhinog with a wild camp. Good to hear you're in the right side of Edinburgh from a football perspective. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Good choice... My earliest camping memory is from up there! To be honest it was tough as an 8 year old... I think my Dad expected 30 odd miles over two days to be an easy trip.
Brilliant video mate😍..That scramble looks my cup of tea..It looks amazing and pretty good holds on it as well ..Nothing too technical 😁..Iam thinking of going to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch this year 😂 Cracking video mate😁👌🏻 Cheers Robert
Found it easy peasy passed loads of people on our way upp to the top done the route twice in a week done The whole ridge no problem with my son when you have done the forcan ridge😊 Wales is nothing
We found it easy peasy back in 2016, think the route finding at the last pinnacle threw me off particularly when Anne was struggling. These things happen.
Classic route, best UK mountain day outside of Scotland. That third pinnacle is actually an easy short scramble but you need to know what you're looking for and it's hard to find info on it.
I'd agree with that actually, it's definitely a classic and Lliwedd is a nice one to finish on top. The couple that appeared at the same time, went the correct line and it didn't look too bad, I think my confidence took a wee knock and I knew Anne was concerned.
It's good to know when you're out of your comfort zone, and scrambling must be very difficult for people with knee problems. I'm a bit of a scrambling fanatic so I loved the scrambling before and after Crib Goch, but paradoxically I get vertigo with trembly legs when there's a lot of exposure, so I really didn't enjoy the knife-edge ridge that is Crib Goch. I kept having to pause for a few seconds to allow my racing heart beat to return to normal - not easy, as there were lots of people on the ridge that day!
Grib Goch is good fun and probably about my level these days. 😁 That's interesting, we're kind of opposites then as I've got a good head for exposure, but a bit apprehensive scrambling. Nothing worse than the disco leg though, I got that on Skye once. 😬
I don't mind the scrambling it's the exposure that scares me. I have done the Aonach Eagach which I believe is technically harder but the exposure is worse on Crib Groch. I think I would find the Crib Groch harder, I will do it at somepoint though. Great video, well done mate.
@@WalkWithWallace it's probably different when you do it. It might be the action cameras lense they always make things look wore. Cheers for the advice.
@@GusExplores yeah the wide angle shots on action cameras can distort it and make ridges look much narrower, just look at the horizon and you can see straight if it's curved at the sides. I don't use that in this vid.
@@WalkWithWallace when I am filming I try and stay away from the wide angles and super wides to get a more natural look. Your horizon looks normal but the ridge still looks sharp 🤣🤣🤣
I had the same issues as you, was going to turn back then followed some guys up. Snowdonia is so rugged, give me Scotland any day, walker rather than climber 😅👍
That was handy, there was a couple there too. They picked the right line and we could have followed them but by then my confidence took a knock and I decided to try that gully my friend suggested.
What awesome views, really want to do this … but have always had a full pack every time I’ve been up and it throws me off balance slightly x thanks for the honest review … will save that for a day I’ve got my day pack 🤗
Took me and a mate four hours from the summit of Snowdon to Pen y Pas car park via Crib Goch in snow. Very hairy at times. Chip butty at Petes Eats most welcome after that.
Did this one 34 years ago when I was only 50. R had an older ex colleague in Bangor Uni who wanted to come. His wife kept saying "darling, the doctor said...." "Pooh to the doctor." He was kitted out in a linen jacket and trainers, but made it all the way round the horseshoe, refusing to go down with his wife via the train. Took us nine hours shepherding him round.. That evening we discovered that the doctor had told him he needed a triple heart bypass.We were FURIOUS. Imagine if anything had happened up there. Was it less than a year after this that Anne had a replacement knee?
@@WalkWithWallace The weather has beat me twice on that one Wallace,the cloud came in both times and I did what you should always do, turn back. Determined to get it this year mate!!
You have to be so careful on the moutains if you don't know where you are, especially when there's mist. You climb down and can't get up and on the wrong side and a sheer drop your f**ked. Be safe. 🙏
@@WalkWithWallace lol step up lol bloody joker tehe I'd never have attempted that when fitter younger 🤣 you did well esp your friend 😉 although really you took her to guide you and watch over you 😉

There are so many variables on a walk like this. Weather, fitness, confidence, experience, unexpected injury.
The list goes on and on.
Thankfully you two made it safely back.

That was tricky at times but I thoroughly enjoyed that.Thank you!
Thanks Dorothy, once I got passed that third pinnacle I totally relaxed as I was worried how I was going to get Anne over the tricky bit. 😊
About 20 years ago I did ML course when I was in the Army ,we did Crib Gogh in a full white out .

Last year ,I went up Scarfell .On the way back instead of using my map and compass ,I sacked it and just walked off into a Valley towards where I thought my car was parked .

I cant believe I used to skip around there and plenty of times too. Not been for years and dought ill do it again.
Thanks Robin.
👍
Cheers Dave, it is good fun isn't, involved without being too involved. I made sure not to give that fish eye effect that gives the perception the ridge is much more narrow than it actually is.
O.M.G there is no way on this planet that I would have done that, so well done you two, what a great and honest vlog 👏 👍
Thanks. 😎 I take it you're not keen on exposure?
@@WalkWithWallace only the camera kind.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot 🤣
Great video Robin. Respect for being so honest about the experience. It’s often more difficult when you’re with someone else as you feel so responsible for them. The horseshoe was my first ever walk in Wales in November 2016. Did it solo took me 6hrs and couldn’t see a thing. Nice one bud. ATB Dave
Thanks Dave, definitely important to give an honest account of these routes to give people researching a balanced idea. 6hrs you must have flew around it. Saying that when there's nothing to see there's no point hanging around.
Great vidio, thanks mate. What shades are you wearing..???
Cheers Peter. They're just a cheap pair out of Matalan. Foster Grant Iron-man efforts. 😎
Great film Robin looks mental that ridge walk i have watched many YT films of it over the years and it is a rival of the AE ridge i would say. I was at the summit of Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa years ago and i hadn't really heard of the Crib Goch route at the time and i got talking to a party who had walked it with a guide and i could see the fear and relief in all of their eyes and no wonder!
Cheers Pete. 👍🏻
The Aonach Eagach is definitely the next level up. Crib Goch probably sits between the CMD Arete and the Aonach Eagach. Some people skip along these ridges, no fear and others are terrified then folk in the middle like me. 😂 . 👀
@@WalkWithWallace Aye true! ive seen a few mountain goats in my time either brave or mental ha ha 👍
Well done Robin & Anne, some knee pads would have came in handy there for Anne, a tough route on the ankles, knees and hips, you both smashed it, Happy Days. ATB.
Cheers mate. 😎 👣 🗻 👍🏻
See that Helicopter at 12:20..That would be rescuing me, frozen stiff by fear.
😱 🚁 😪
We did the crib last summer and loved it , brilliant enjoyed watching your take on it 👍🏼
Cheers mate, it's a classic and the horseshoe route is up there too. 👌🏼
Top job guys , that looked gnarly that ridge lol .. great video 🙏
Cheers Ian. Aye those pinnacles at the end are really gnarly.
What action camera were you using. Fabulous footage ❤.
Cheers Tony, it was filmed on two cameras. DJI Osmo Action and the Sony ZV-1.
Well played. You done it. You diamond. 👍💪🤪❤🙏
Was that helicopter for the guy who fell from Crib Goch back in 2021? Another hiker fell to their death the previous month. Not for the faint of heart.
I think on this occasion, it was just a training exercise. It was hovering over Snowdon for a while too, before flying off.
Brilliant footage as usual I really enjoyed it. I live in South Wales and travel to the Highlands a lot just come back from a great trip to Ben Aden fantastic weather I put a bit on my channel but having done snowdonia to death in the eighties and nineties I have neglected the area since as I love the highlands so your clip as inspired me to go back to snowdonia soon so cheers look forward to watching your next trip cheers
Cheers Andrew, Snowdonia is best left for the week days, getting like that in Scotland too in the honey pot areas. Ben Aden has been on my radar for ages, I'll need to check out your vid now.
We approached from loch Quoich We had good dry weather so the ground was good and rivers low the second river could be difficult in spate camped past the dam and next day climbed Ben Aden up rocky ridge then around some amazing ground up to Sgurr na Ciche then onto Garbh Chioch Mhor then descended to bealach then descended west down Coire Nan Gall where our tent was next day we walked out so we took three days bearing in mind I am approaching 60 and my bro is 70 you could do it in less days we’ll take care keep the trips coming on your channel they honestly kept me going during lockdown playing your backcatolog of tripscheers
@@andrewkingdom brilliant mate, that sounds epic. I think we'll tackle Aden from Glen Dessary and do the Munros too. Fantastic area, so rugged.
Always wanted to do Crib Goch, specially on a day like that, unreal views! Hats off to both of you for getting over without anything major and local knowledge is always a bonus. I hope that helicopter was just practicing and what a horseshoe that was, the weather and the views were just getting better and better, cheers Alan
Cheers Al, have you got a good head for height? I think the helicopter was training as it hovered around the summit of Snowdon before flying off.
@@WalkWithWallace - Yes, been over Sharp Edge 4 times, always nervous but happy with that as nervous keeps your focused :o)
@@AlanMETALMAN yeah you need a bit of nervousness to keep you focused. Sharp Edge is one of the few I still need to do.
Very good to watch, thanks! I’ve ‘done’ Snowden about 30 times, and always avoided that route…one excuse being it’s almost always wet when I go late in August.
Thank you. 😊 👍🏻
Wet rock is a good excuse to be honest. What's your favourite route up Snowdon?
Well done Robin. Crib Goch is certainly not for the faint hearted. Really enjoyed seeing the footage from your eyes as it provided a real sense of what a challenge it is. I can imagine in bad weather, it could be quite extreme. I’m still on the fence as to whether to give it a go. I enjoy a nice scramble, but less so when there is a much higher risk of injury or worse!
Cheers Anthony, I suppose the one good thing is the scrambling isn't difficult at all, it's just the exposure and the thought of one slip. No danger you'd get me up there in wet conditions. 👀
Another great video Robin. How are you getting on with your Keen NXIS boots. Would be interested in your views as I'm on the lookout for a decent pair at the moment. Cheers
Cheers Euan. I'm loving the NXIS boots so far. Comfortable and I enjoy the flexibility of the mid boot. They've had some tough mountain terrain recently in Wales and Skye and they're only just beginning to show some very minor wear and tear.
I wish GoPro would release a lens which gives a realistic perspective rather than the curved aspect. It is terrifying and I want to see if.
Hi there, I didn't use any fish-eye effect in this video, what you see is what you get.
Got to try that one, went up Snowden a week ago and loved it, great workout for the legs too. Got separated and lost on the way down though. I was surprised how busy it was, and didn't know you can get a train up there ! There was a cafe too but it was shut.
Save it for a good day mate, it's a cracking route if you've got a head for heights. Don't make our mistake on the 3rd pinnacle though. 😂
:)@@WalkWithWallace
Note to self! I’m not doing Crib Goch. Heart in my mouth on that one mate. Fairplay to you for keeping going Robin. Even the wife told me ‘your not taking me the **** up there’ 😂🤷🏻♂️
Cheers John, it was good type 2 fun really. 😁
Anne reminds me of my attempt of Crib Goch. Anxious, out of my comfort zone and on all fours much of the route. Comes down to lack of experience of exposure.
Everybody is different with their tolerance to exposure. Anne has got bags of experience but doesn't enjoy the exposure. 😁
Enjoyed the drama keep on hiking.
Thanks mate and happy new year. 😁 👍🏻
Brilliant video Robin. Looked good. Wouldn't fancy that in the wet like. I find the older I get, the more I've lost my bottle. When you are young and single you tend not to care as much. I think you handled it just fine pal.
Cheers mate, appreciate that and I hope know what you mean about getting older and losing your bottle a bit. I think I'd struggle on the Aonach Eagach now, even though I've done it 3 times before and found it about my level.
I’m 19 and on for my second scramble I did tryfan. I know that’s not impressive but I personally found it terrifying at points. I’d say I have average/above average fitness but I don’t really have much confidence and I’m not so great with heights. I’m terrified of falling off and I was wondering if anyone has advice for overcoming fears of this type of walk?
Just spend more time on the mountains, but don't throw yourself in at the deep end doing something like Tryfan or Crib Goch, if you're based near Snowdonia, then Moel-Siabod has some easy scrambling. Look at mountains that have some exposure but not any difficult scrambles.
Might be worthwhile booking a guide to help.
What route did you take up tryfan we’re doing it very soon
@@DannyDrakey we went around the back and up the south ridge.
@@DannyDrakey I think I did the North Ridge, I started near the road and there was a lake behind us while we went up
Lovely climb and scenery is therapeutic
💯 👍🏻
Brilliant video👍👍
Thank you. 😊 👍🏻
You and Anne are absolute heroes. 👏👏 very well done and what an amazing video. 👍
Cheers David, appreciate your kind words. 😊 👍🏼
Traversing the third pinnacle on the right of it is the easiest and quickest, although it is a more exposed for a few steps.
Correct mate, two others went that way and it looked fine, but at the time I didn't feel confident getting Anne over the 3rd pinnacle as she wasn't in a good place.
Well done to you both, a great walk but not to be underestimated. Atb
Thanks Ray, not quite the Aonach Eagach but still needs respect.
Wow that was some day in the hills fairplay to you Robin some going 👏👍Atb
Cheers Keith. That was 3 ten hour shifts in a row. Loved them all. 😁 🏴
@@WalkWithWallace you are a glutin for punishment lol no problem to you 👊💪
@@keithmcshane8005 type 2 fun at times. 😁
Well done on doing the horseshoe, I've only ever been up Snowdon in the train. Does that count? No, thought not!😂
Funnily enough I got the train up too, but I was only a nipper and my Mum wouldn't let me and my Dad climb it. 😂
Nice one, well done to you and anne,carry on dude😇
😁 Cheers Kenny.
Glad you both made it back down safely Robin, that looked a little hairy coming down that ridge!😵 Super views though👍👍👍
Aye that last pinnacle was a bit unnerving, after that it was all good. 😎 👍🏻
Looks great Robin, well done amazing views. Will look through some more of your videos. I am just starting to get into TH-cam really had it for years but wasn’t really putting anything on or checking it much.
Hey stranger, how goes Jason are you still doing all your train trips?
I've gave you a sub on the off chance you post something up.
No too bad now Robin, I have been off work since end of August last year as I have had long Covid and other complications so I haven’t really been travelling or doing much. I deactivated Facebook ages ago will get back to it eventually once I get back to work and back on my travels. I have loads of photos & videos from previous trips I have been sorting out. Hope to be getting back work soon & back to normal. Hope you are keeping well and enjoying your walks.
Heights shown in metres - wish it has been in feet. I can relate to that.
I did the Horseshoe with my dad in 1981. (The w/e of the 'Royal Wedding' which we were escaping.) Now after the arrete shown in this film I know I had to walk along a ledge at one point. When I looked down from this ledge I couldn't see the ground - there was a heavy mist or low clouds. In this mist/clouds I could see circular rainbows. It was both beautiful and terrifying at the same time. It was a long way down, even to the clouds. I asked my dad about the ledge walkway afterwards and he casually told me people had been blown off it in the past! We got to Snowdon where people were near ambling up. I was relieved and my fear of heights somewhat lessened (at least for a time). My dad's no longer with us - but the memory of that climb (especially the arrete and the ledge) is still very much with me.
Can anyone help me with my memory here please? I don't want to have to do that again!
I probably should use metric and imperial, opt for metric to match our maps. 🗺
I wouldn't fancy the conditions you experienced 40 years ago, that doings grim. I suppose the mist swirling around would hide some of the exposure.
@@WalkWithWallace - In fact I was looking down at least a hundred foot to the clouds! Otherwise the day was beautiful. It was very odd and has stayed with me!
The older I get the more I avoid the airy stuff 😵💫 Kudos to you and Anne 👍
Cheers Stevie and I know what you mean. I get quite apprehensive now when scrambling is involved.
Saved the best till last eh. Great video bud. Looked a cracking walk.😎 Crib Goch looks abit like the Forcan ridge eh. Nice honest account of your experience. Looked a mare coming aff it. Defo would love tae do that horseshoe one day. Maybe oan ma 2nd trip to Wales. 😉
Cheers bud. I'd say Crib Goch is on a par with the Forcan Fella. Definitely up your street, you like a bit of hands on rock eh? 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Love abit o scrambley mc scrambleface. Be a different story in the wet tho eh., 👀
@@Kev_Russ aye like that time on the Aggie Ridge, the rock was too greasy like.
Good to see a bit of Wales with you. Thanks and well done for overcoming the fear Robin and helping your friend too! That was a long day with some beautiful and dramatic views. I think it looks fairly similar to Scottish hills though so with current petrol prices I just stay up here:-]
Cheers Jonas, I just noticed this morning our local garage charging £1.99.9 a litre of diesel. Barstewards. 😬
oh yes.. diesel is even worse.
Great stuff, I'm told I did Crib Goch as a child but I don't have much memory of it. Good honest video 👌
Cheers Alex. How many years you going back there?
@@WalkWithWallace probably about 40 🤣 it was much higher back then as less erosion 😂
@@ttxela 😂
Spectacular scenes there pal. CG looked awesome there. It was wreathed in mist when I did it and I didn't enjoy it a great deal. Quick question Robin, where would it fit in terms of challenge, exposure, difficulty, fun, etc, with the following, An Teallach, Am Fasarinen, Aonach Eagach, Black Cuillin, etc?.
Cheers Chris. 😁 👍🏻
An Teallach, Liathach and the Aonach Eagach are all a step up in difficulty from Crib Goch (grade 2 scramble). The first two offer a bypass path to avoid most of the difficulties though. Aonach Eagach like Crib Goch, you're pretty much committed to finish the ridge.
I hired a guide for most of the the Black Cuillin. 🧗♂️
@@WalkWithWallace Cheers Robin, I reckoned as much.
@@ChrisJB no probs mate. 👍🏻
Go on my son. Luv yer.❤💪🙏
Mint vid mate👍👍
Cheers mate. 😎 👍🏼
Another enjoyable film Robin - nice to see a seasoned Scotsman on some ground familiar to me! How would you rate CG against the Forcan Ridge, Aonach Eagach, Liathach? I still have these left on my to-do list. Cheers, Allan.
Cheers Allan, I would say the Forcan Ridge is on a par with GC but AE and Liathach are definitely a step up in difficulty. 🧗♂️
@@WalkWithWallace Cheers Robin!
great video Robin. quite fancy doing that trip myself! Has Ann recovered yet? :)
Haha, cheers Lee. Aye Anne is good back in Scotland doing her Grahams. 😂
Great series Robin!
I'm from Snowdonia but have lived in Leith for over 20 years now.
If you're ever down in Wales again you should give Cadair Idris a shot. It's nothing too challenging but, it's a great day out and the views are hard to beat.
Maybe plan a camp up there... Look up what legend says happens if you do.
Cheers Robin. I think the next trip down to Wales will be to do some of the Rhinog with a wild camp.
Good to hear you're in the right side of Edinburgh from a football perspective. 😁
@@WalkWithWallace Good choice... My earliest camping memory is from up there! To be honest it was tough as an 8 year old... I think my Dad expected 30 odd miles over two days to be an easy trip.
@@robinsheffield3648 haha, my Dad used to walk me for miles as a nipper too, albeit not the hills.
Brilliant video mate😍..That scramble looks my cup of tea..It looks amazing and pretty good holds on it as well ..Nothing too technical 😁..Iam thinking of going to
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch this year 😂

madness, absolute madness,
🤪🤪
Found it easy peasy passed loads of people on our way upp to the top done the route twice in a week done
The whole ridge no problem with my son when you have done the forcan ridge😊 Wales is nothing
We found it easy peasy back in 2016, think the route finding at the last pinnacle threw me off particularly when Anne was struggling. These things happen.
Classic route, best UK mountain day outside of Scotland. That third pinnacle is actually an easy short scramble but you need to know what you're looking for and it's hard to find info on it.
I'd agree with that actually, it's definitely a classic and Lliwedd is a nice one to finish on top. The couple that appeared at the same time, went the correct line and it didn't look too bad, I think my confidence took a wee knock and I knew Anne was concerned.
i got this on my bucket list! done Tryfan few weeks back absolutley mental!
Nice one mate. Did you get good weather for it or wet like us?
@@WalkWithWallace tryfan the weather was clear blue skies with perfect temperature! Most memorable moment of my 2022. I'd love to go back again
@@kmtb2011 perfect. Did you do Adam & Eve?
@@WalkWithWallace I didn't jump across Adam and eve. Few people were around didn't wanna embrass myself if things went wrong🤣

@@WalkWithWallace i have enjoyed 2 or 3 more 😊
@@maggi666 😊 👍🏻
It's good to know when you're out of your comfort zone, and scrambling must be very difficult for people with knee problems. I'm a bit of a scrambling fanatic so I loved the scrambling before and after Crib Goch, but paradoxically I get vertigo with trembly legs when there's a lot of exposure, so I really didn't enjoy the knife-edge ridge that is Crib Goch. I kept having to pause for a few seconds to allow my racing heart beat to return to normal - not easy, as there were lots of people on the ridge that day!
Grib Goch is good fun and probably about my level these days. 😁 That's interesting, we're kind of opposites then as I've got a good head for exposure, but a bit apprehensive scrambling. Nothing worse than the disco leg though, I got that on Skye once. 😬
@@WalkWithWallace Disco legs 😅 Or Elvis legs.
@@natalieminnis 🤣🤣
I don't mind the scrambling it's the exposure that scares me. I have done the Aonach Eagach which I believe is technically harder but the exposure is worse on Crib Groch. I think I would find the Crib Groch harder, I will do it at somepoint though. Great video, well done mate.
Cheers Gus, the Aonach Eagach is definitely a step up in difficulty and exposure. It just that gnarly bit we got a bit confused with on this one.
@@WalkWithWallace it's probably different when you do it. It might be the action cameras lense they always make things look wore. Cheers for the advice.
@@GusExplores yeah the wide angle shots on action cameras can distort it and make ridges look much narrower, just look at the horizon and you can see straight if it's curved at the sides. I don't use that in this vid.
@@WalkWithWallace when I am filming I try and stay away from the wide angles and super wides to get a more natural look. Your horizon looks normal but the ridge still looks sharp 🤣🤣🤣
@@GusExplores I'm the same, even when not on a ridge I don't like the jelly effect when you move the camera about.
I had the same issues as you, was going to turn back then followed some guys up.
Snowdonia is so rugged, give me Scotland any day, walker rather than climber 😅👍
That was handy, there was a couple there too. They picked the right line and we could have followed them but by then my confidence took a knock and I decided to try that gully my friend suggested.
Great vid/vlog Robin. That one's not for me nowadays, well done 👏
Cheers John, I'm thinking that myself these days. 🤣
@@WalkWithWallace I've aquired some sort of Ocular Vertigo with age. Striding Edge is about my comfort limit now

Took me and a mate four hours from the summit of Snowdon to Pen y Pas car park via Crib Goch in snow. Very hairy at times. Chip butty at Petes Eats most welcome after that.
I wouldn't fancy that route in the snow. 4 hours is a decent time. 😁
That looks steep and rocky not sure I could do that probably fall to my death lol that is narrow
Good on you for managing it!
Needs a bit of concentration, but not difficult, just that third pinnacle threw us off.

Nice insight to the Crib. Well done for calling them Herring Gulls, not seagulls!
Cheers Jeff. 😎 👍🏻
Scary stuff
😬
Definitely 'Fear Zone' for me.
Felt uneasy watching.
Aye, it's not everyone's cup of tea.
Did this one 34 years ago when I was only 50. R had an older ex colleague in Bangor Uni who wanted to come. His wife kept saying "darling, the doctor said...." "Pooh to the doctor." He was kitted out in a linen jacket and trainers, but made it all the way round the horseshoe, refusing to go down with his wife via the train. Took us nine hours shepherding him round.. That evening we discovered that the doctor had told him he needed a triple heart bypass.We were FURIOUS. Imagine if anything had happened up there. Was it less than a year after this that Anne had a replacement knee?
Oooft, that is a bit naughty but he survived to tell the tale. Think this was just over a year before her knee op, Anne did well considering.
CREEEEB GOCHH
🏴 😎 👍🏼
Don't be embarrassed bro , I've always said it, one hardest and dangerous ridges in Britain, yet it's a tourist path to Snowdon
I know, it was just because we'd done it before and couldn't remember the route then self doubt kicks in. 😬
Nice video
Cheers mate. 👍🏻
Scary stuff mate. I think the old shaky leg syndrome would have set in on some of those scrambles. Well done to both of you.
