EXPERT
Snowdon and Crib Goch from Llanberis
Crib Goch is one of the most exposed ridges in Britain, and this route puts it in the middle of a big mountain day rather than as the whole objective, so you get the scramble and a proper crossing into the Glyderau either side of it.
VERY HARD
Yr Wyddfa via Llanberis Path
It's the most runnable line to the summit of Yr Wyddfa, following the rack railway most of the way up, so you can move fast on genuinely good underfoot conditions rather than picking through rock.
EXPERT
Yr Wyddfa via Miners' Track, Pyg Track and Crib Goch
Most people treat the Miners' and Pyg Tracks as a straightforward there-and-back pairing, but this GPX shows the loop actually crossing Crib Goch, which changes the entire character of the day.
