Our ascent will take approximately 5-7 hrs at a steady pace (the key to progress on a mountain) as we negotiate a route up the mountain via the Pyg or Miners Tracks from Pen-y-pass, skirting below the knife edged arête of Crib Goch and high above Llyn Llydaw & Glaslyn. The spectacular scenery entices us to gain ever more height, until finally we are treated to the ultimate view from the roof of Wales. Anglesey, the Menai Strait, Cardigan Bay, and the plains of England. The descent takes us down the Miners Track past the lapping waters of Llyn Llydaw & Glaslyn to return to Pen-y-pass or via the Llanberis path to the village of Llanberis.
