This is a clip from the full walk with just the worst (or maybe best for you) part of the ridge walk. The sound of fear" is in the title because you can hear how scared I am!
Having done almost 100 munros I think I've got a good head for heights but this is another level. A grade 1 scramble here if ever I seen one. Great effort. There's no way I would attempt it.
The funny thing is, if it was a couple of feet off the ground you would skip over it. It's just the height and sense of exposure that makes it difficult. If you have a good head for heights I'm sure you would enjoy it. Thanks for watching. 👍
Fair play to you mate, you have balls of steel. You had a great day for it and this is probably the clearest video I've seen of the ridge. I love a good scramble but suffer from vertigo so I could not deal with the exposure, so I really enjoyed this.
Captures it perfectly, did it over 200 times and it was different every time. This and Tryfan North ridge were my 2 favourite North Wale walks. Severe health problems have kept me off the mountains for nearly 30 years but I still have great memories from then. Enjoy it whever you have the oppurtunity and thanks for the video much appreciated by this old man.
Thank you. Wow... over 200 times! No wonder you miss the mountains now, you must have some great memories though. Sorry you can’t get to enjoy them now first hand, but glad the videos help. Tryfan was my first mountain and I did it via Little and North gully a few weeks ago. Thanks for watching. ATB, Spencer 👍
I went up crib goch 30 years ago when I was a free solo climber of not great quality ( v1 max ) and had no fear. I did it again yesterday at 66 and life is more precious and fear more real and less balance and flexibility (knees especially) so I went left and traversed. I didn’t feel a wimp I felt sensible and comfortable and protected and confidence grew. Don’t ever watch others and think they set an example. It is your life and it is precious. So protect it. If you want to dance along the ridge and catch a toe or lose your balance you are dead. Brown bread. Bravado kaput. Be safe and live to tell how scary it was. Be proud of fear. It kept you alive.
I've watched so many videos of people doing this and no one ever comments on the beauty of the place. Everyone is either too scared to take it all in or they're running across it in a hurry trying to be Barry Big Balls
I got stuck at the ridge and had to turn back and go down... If there hadn't have been so much 'traffic' up there I would have gone across on my bottom and shuffled along but there were too many people waiting to cross so I I had to turn back.
1st You should not have gone alone, although you were there but my breath was stuck up!! 2nd I want to know the stupid person advised you to do this. 3rd hats off to you at least you have achieved a massive big goal. 4th the title should be Taste of Death!! 5th there are massive other places to explore instead of taking a risk so please don't even think anything like this in the future..only if you are with a group.....What happened at the end??
Yeah, learned a lot on this one. I’ve done it again since, and my fear of heights is a lot better now. There is a longer version of this video that covers the whole walk, just called Crib Goch. Thanks for watching 👍
Been up Snowdon 3 times myself (via hiking), and over Grib Goch twice, It truly a great hike for anyone with the nerves, I had a huge adrenaline high the whole time, and I was laughing I was enjoying it so much.
Yes, and I am much better with heights now. The video is the Snowdon horseshoe, and I've also done the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glen Coe, which makes Crib Gogh look like a stroll in the park. 😄👍
The second time I did it, was so much easier, but that bit where climb up the outside of that pinnacle is still a bit nerve-wracking. Aonach Eagach ridge is an awesome scramble. 👍
Man, I can't even watch this. I would love to say I could do this, but I think I would s*** myself. I would probably be crawling it, if that. Adding your commentary just convinces me even more that I'll never be able to overcome such fear to attempt this. Massive kudos to you.
I still get scared if I watch it back! Glad I did it but at one point I wasn’t sure I would make it, my arms and legs were shaking..lol. Thanks for watching. ATB Spencer
I was really scared when I first approached it.. But then thought loads of people have done it... Was even more determined when I saw this big fat bloke go ahead of me who looked really out of shape so I thought I'd he can do it I can... Plus I saw some children up there.... But yes it's testifying the first time.... Especially the pinnacle....
This was so entertaining to watch😂. I just did last week the whole ridge up to the summit all on my own, for the first time, late in the evening. Started at 5 pm and rushed through so I can catch the sunset. Had a few moments where I was shaking. But definitely, this is one thrill of a hike. I loved it so much that I will probably try to do it again this week if it stops raining. When I went up it was such a beautiful calm day, so it helped. Also, the biggest mistake I did, was to take the left turn after the Pinnacles. The left turn still got me to the summit, but it was much more treacherous with a lot of sliding sludge. Take care and enjoy.
Thanks. Yes, it's definitely one that you don't forget. I've yet to do it again but I will one day! A calm dry day makes all the difference though. Have a good one if you manage to make it back. 👍
Nice one for recording it for others to see! I've done it a couple of times and yeah it's nerve wracking when there's nothing to hold onto! On my first time, I saw a group of fellas behind me bottle it, and in front was a women solo. So I thought if she can, I can. I also love the authenticity of your thoughts! Haha
You're too scared of scrambling and appear to just want to walk it. This is more dangerous than using your hands to aid your feet. Some beginner climbing experience would help you out heaps with comfort, confidence, and general ability when it comes to scrambles like this. Who know, you may even find yourself doing grade 3 scrambles one day!
I cant believe that back in the day about a dozen p@ssheads from Monson Arms in Lincoln did Crib Goch with in some cases( mine) bad hangovers and survived...glory days
🤣🤣 it is a lot worse than striding edge if you don't like heights. Saying that it's surprising how you can get used to heights, I've done it again since and was fine. 👍
My legs felt funny watching this. I'm doing a guided scramble on Crib Goch in April so I have been watching lots of videos. Some people say it's OK, you can drop to the left and it's easier but it doesn't look like there is much space on the left 🙈
It's definitely easier on the left the steepest drop is on the right. I have done it again since, and it was a lot easier. Doing it on my own the first time was a mistake, you will be fine with a guide. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer It sure is Spencer. I done it way back in 1991 at the young age of 17 during Army Recruit Training whilst on Adventure Training. It was the 1st mountain i had ever climbed lol. The weather was howling and we done Grib Goch on our way to Snowden. I just remember thinking i am surely going to die 😂. I dug out some old photos yesterday from that very day nearly 30 years ago. And on the back of the Summit Picture at the Trig Point on Snowden i had handwritten "At the top of Snowden, Thank God!" i can't remember writing it but it was great to see 🙂. I am looking forward to coming down soon and doing it again after all of these years. I will get my heart thumping i know that much!. The other walk you done in the Lake District looks fantastic and that is now on my list. Good work fella 👍.
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer I'll try m8. Other than taking pics with my phone i am not too experienced in taking video while clambering over Steep Ridges lol. Any tips and advice on gear and set up and i will give it a bash 👍.
I used a GoPro but there are plenty of cheap action cams online and I used a head mount. If you are just taking your phone only use it when there is no chance of dropping it! The retrieval will be a lot worse than walking the ridge. 😂
I am currently getting over a double leg and foot break and ankle ligament damage due to a fall in my bedroom!! The concentration levels required for Crib Goch probably make it safer in a strange way. Thanks for watching 👍
Brilliant 👏 A great attitude motivating yourself this is on my list this year i am from scotland could you please tell me can you do Crib Goch and Mount Snowdon in the same day they look close on the maps thanks
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer ......'and for desert sir'? 'Yes I'll have the death by mountain' please!!! Don't be tight on the vertigo sauce now you hear!!! I'd love to do this, but it's just too high for me, 'I'd get cragfast instantly' and need the helicopter to get me off.
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer phenomenal... Much respect to you.... The whole edge to yourself.... I think that helped you to remain calm and focused... Less pressure.... But would of been nice to have somebody with you who had done it before... Stay safe buddy.....
Very brave and perfect footage Mate feels a bit dizzy while watching, but it gives me more details of how hard it is and how long is the edge before it starts to widen up again. I hope I can do it one day; I have been to Helvellyn a few times, but I know this is much harder.
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer thanks Mate, I sound exactly the same as you when I was dealing with Helvellyn. Those grind and breathing plus those grabbing and leg stretching to reach certain obstacles. 😅
Imagine you are walking along the garden wall And focus on that don’t let your mind run away with you and try to ensure after all that’s why are you there
You're most certainly not a wimp! I think you are an outdoors star reviewer in the making roving the country's mountains and ridges with your own series on tv! I'd certainly watch!
Of all the videos I have seen on you tube regards hiking up mountains , scrambling etc. Yours are the most descriptive and gives the viewer the next best thing to hiking-up mountains. I started mountain hiking last year and wished I had done it 20 years ago.
@@vikrammukhyan striding edge is easier, I love that walk. But I just focused on each step on Crib and that got me through. It's easier if you are with someone who is familiar with it. 👍
That's on my to do list,but it's my worst nightmare at same time. I don't mind scrambling but the exposure here is so bad,you actually see both sides at all times I think this is making even worse.I've heard the way to go is to step to the left(your back should facing the lake)and that way you can't see the drops.I'm yet to try if it works as looking on the films like yours is easier said than done lol,anyway nice video,subscribed now :)
The only way to avoid looking at the drops is to do it with your eyes closed..and I would NOT recommend that!! 😮 seriously I just focused on each step but if you don’t like heights it is scary. Thanks for the sub. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer oh no tbh I have a complete irrational fear of heights! But as I expected - the initial scramble up there was by far the hardest/scariest bit for me. The ridge ended up being super easy BUT then again I wasn’t on my own😅 it must of been difficult dragging your ginormous balls across the whole of crib goch! I’d tell everyone to take the crib goch route after walking down the easy way... so boring.
I did pretty much the entire length of Crib Goch... on my ass. I was too scared to get up.
I can’t believe you did that on your own. I could’ve ended up a widow. 😬😬
You coming with me next time? 😂
"It's very dangerous if you fall, so I've heard"....NO SHIT!
😂

I was thee last week and it is a beautiful mountain.
"Com'on, it's only some rocks" is a great motivator.
I love Crib Goch. Stunning ridge.
It’s certainly memorable! 😂👍
You should of took some custard with you for the end to have with your crumble!
How many eggs did you lay up there?
🤣🤣
i do it when they put a catch net on both sides lol ,
Lol, I could of done with one! 😂
I almost did this years ago - looking at your video I'm glad now I didn't! The sound effects sum it up!!
Haha, I was well scared when I did it the first time! I'm much better with heights now, the second time was much easier. 👍
I got stuck at the ridge and had to turn back and go down... If there hadn't have been so much 'traffic' up there I would have gone across on my bottom and shuffled along but there were too many people waiting to cross so I I had to turn back.
Yeah, it’s usually busy but it’s typical that when I Walt for someone to tag along with, there’s no one about. 👍

I know what you mean about the adrenaline, I find being in the mountains clears the head, and makes you feel better about life. 👍
Something I enjoy watching while drinking my breakfast coffee but I would never, NEVER, even try this. Watching was scary enough!
Safer that way, mind you I broke my leg getting out of bed last year! 😂
I am wincing even watching this, would like to do this one day but keep ending up on the Pyg track... Amazing video
There are more falls on the pyg track than Crib Goch. If you can handle heights you will be fine. Thanks for watching. 👍
Have you done it since?
Yes, and I am much better with heights now. The video is the Snowdon horseshoe, and I've also done the Aonach Eagach ridge in Glen Coe, which makes Crib Gogh look like a stroll in the park. 😄👍
Are you mad didn't feel safe watching it
Looking back..yes I am mad! 😄
Worst part for me was the 3rd pinnacle, I don't think I would have done it if there were any other option than to go the whole way back and downclimb.
The second time I did it, was so much easier, but that bit where climb up the outside of that pinnacle is still a bit nerve-wracking. Aonach Eagach ridge is an awesome scramble. 👍

Not easy watching, i am not sure i could deal with this - so thank you for letting me see what it's like
Thanks Paul, it does get easier over time. I did again a few weeks ago and although a bit nervous, I was not scared this time. 👍
Iam going to tell me mam of you, now you're in trouble.
Lol
You’re shit scared yet you still did it,credit to you. Well done mate.👍
Thanks. I did it again last week and it was much easier. 👍
Same weather manipulation clouds there as I have here. And most video I see around the world shows the same smoke in the upper stratosphere

Hi Spencer..Your a braver man than I..Those near vertical drops each side..Holy Shit!!
Not brave, stupid! 😂 It is worse one side than the other but still wouldn't fancy slipping. 👍
Great effort Spencer 👍
Thank you 👍
Grib goch is a monster ! Been over many times and it impresses me as it does terrify me
I admire your foolishness. Keep away from dangerous places. 1 slip away from serious injury or worse.

The ridge ended up being super easy BUT then again I wasn’t on my own😅 it must of been difficult dragging your ginormous balls across the whole of crib goch! I’d tell everyone to take the crib goch route after walking down the easy way... so boring.
@@aydan0161 the scramble up is harder. I'm sure the ridge will be easier next time. 👍
@@OutandaboutwithSpencer my friend who I was with did it in crocs and with his dog off the lead!

Ask Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team how many people die attempting this every year. Not worth the risk.
Not many actually but it is not for the faint-hearted. Thanks for watching. 👍
8 per year. A better chance of dying here than getting attacked by a shark. No thanks!
Actually there are about 8 fatalities a year on Snowdon. Usually 1 or 2 of them on Crib Goch. Thanks for watching.
Why risk it on your own? Reckless.
Thanks for your opinion and for watching. ATB 👍
Hell no ! You guys are crazy .
