Video

i salute you sir...i just did the miners track yesterday and i tell you it took the life out of me. What you just did you must of really pushed your courage and physical ability to the edge!! Respect! I know I COULD NOT DO CRIB GOCH

Cameras always make it look a LOT worse than it really is.

A colony of mice live on the crest seemingly existing on scraps of food dropped by walkers.

Wonderful tribute to a great Barrow lad ❤️

At 37:13 we went up and over that thing. Getting down the back side of it with that exposure was fkin terrifying haha

I did this ridge the last time in 2003, i was 68. I'd been given a lift by an old friend. The weather forcast was good for the day. Unfortunately on arrival, it got very windy. Being foolish, i carried on ! Back down the miners track. Never been so knackered. One month later,I hiked the North Rim of Grand Canyon, 16 miles down, camped by the river, out the next day. Now 80, only memories. Great watching your vid, thanks. Ps, pity you didn't do a shot up to Crib Goch from the Miners track, really gives it scale.

A nice wander, I love the area around Haweswater, such a shame Mardale was sacrificed for the reservoir, though I have to thank Bruce Robinson for introducing me to its iconic view over 20 years ago, Chin chin, keep on wandering.

fair play to you. I would 100% shit my pants at the top

Balls of steel you mate, fair fucks hahah!

The facing down camera viewpoint “holy craps” with view of precipitous drops to each side perfectly matches my memory of being dragged up Crib Goch by my brother in law twenty years ago. I am not an experienced climber and suffice to say I froze half way and we had to take a path down before we ran out of daylight. Your video brings it all back, sweaty palms and all…

i have just had my heart in my mouth the whole time i watched this brilliant, and no im never doing it.

Amazing. What cam did you use ?

Good work man, very impressive

Respect mate! Perfect conditions too. I've been dying to do this but the thing that puts me off is crowds of people. You had the ridge to yourself!

wow followed your every step what an achievement well done you'll never forget this day 👏👏👏

Just subbed, I love all of this stuff but hats off to you sending it on this tough terrain, a few nervous exposed situations 😳

Amazing who ever did this first and decided it actually was a route up Snowdon ! Great video. Best I’ve seen. Brave bloke especially on your own . I’ve been up to the ridge in bad weather most people were coming back down me included! Not even sure I’d want to do it no looking at that 😂😂

That was terrifying, 22.22 loose rock, I often wonder if they are safe. They all look cracked and ready to go. Be cacking my pants up there. Not sure I could do it after watching your ascent/crossing. Well done. Very brave man.

Thanks for posting this video, saves me climbing this way, congratulations on making it!👌

Live 4 Ever Compadres

Enjoyed this lad, fekin brave driving up that road on a day like that.. i was up caldbeck common area this day and roads were lethal.. tek care :)

Loved the fart… nice touch 👍🏼

I have to say once up there is not as bad as it looks obviously is a bit more difficult if suffering with highs, there are one or two parts but overall is a good route

Nice camp..

Give up the weed mate

Great video and views. Cheers from Norway 👍🙂

Nice easy one. Straightforward

You got some great weather for it! We did it last November and the mist came down and we nearly got blown off the top! Enjoyed your vid, was nice to see the views we missed when we were up there. We've just been up Causey Pike as well so it was nice to see that from a different perspective. Anyway, you have a new follower. Will have a look at some more of your vids later.

Nice video chief, one of my favourite hills. Lucky to get clear skies up there, rarely happens for me

Outstanding video

Have a great day. New friend here.

Great views on the tops. Best wishes.

One slip and it’s death

This is by far the best Crib Goch video I have watched, and I have watched so many trying to build up the courage to do it myself. I can safely say after watching this I may have to pass. A super well done, and thank you for taking us with you 😊

@alcoholsoftmiddleage is your site name a quote from " the final cut " ????.

Ahhh… the heavy breathing takes me back! Nice video.

When I camp(wild or otherwise) in windy conditions I always use ear plugs, they make all the difference.

Sweaty palms on that one. Don't know if it is better to have clear conditions to see or better to have it cloudy and not! First time watching. New sub. Best wishes on the next.

your commentary had me in stiches! I thought many of the same thoughts on the way up for sure haha! great video.

That has to be the most serious grade 1 scramble in the world!

Great video mate, I'm thinking of doing it first time soon, is their many loose rocks on the ridge

Could not do it, I've been holding a pillow and biting my nails praying nothing goes wrong and that you DO NOT fall off. Obviously it went well, because you posted the video. I'm too scared of heights to attempt something that high. A couple of hundred feet is doable with meadow or banks at the sides of the walk...but this, shit no! I would never go up there. I'd freeze and panic. 🙃Think you did amazing to do this if you were scared of heights, but for me THIS a massive NO! C Goch, help yourself, I'll be sticking with the PYG track cheers!🤣

Good

How many people get stuck or fall off that each year?

Very nice footage, I love this landscape.

Nice vid. You seem to be on your own. What time of year?, usually in good weather there is que to do this route, now days. I have done the horseshoe a couple of times, but in my day not as busy as today.

Well done really enjoyed watching it

Great views, and quieter at the top than I imagined. Can I was what time of day and what time of year you did this?

Done it twice, mad isn't it

How long did it take to cross from the car park over Crib Goch to Snowdon? Was it 1 hour or 5 hours etc? Trying to plan a route and wondering how long it will take.
