Re: Snowdon

I walked up snowden a few years ago via crib goch. I can still remember scrambling over crib goch,much worse than striding edge.I would stay away from that route.

If you don't fancy walking up snowdon,there's always the train that goes to the top of the mountain, with a cafe on the top. But that would be cheating I suppose.

Walked up it in 87 as part of the 3 highest on mainland Uk in 24 hours and came up the valley side (cant remember the village.) The views were stunning as the clouds rolled down small valleys like rivers. In 94 cheated n took the train up.

Re: Snowdon

I did the Llanberis path a couple of years back, its a longer route but not as steep as the Pyg/Miners track, its a steady slog, but on a clear day the views are worth it

Keep promising myself I'll do it again, maybe later this year

Not much competition Eric. Snowdon's about three 3.000 ft . Is it right the rockies are about 14,000 ft

Mind does anybody actually climb them, or is it like John Denver they just sing about them.
