Yr Wyddfa from Bwlch Glas, near the meeting place of the various northern, eastern and western paths to the summit. The imposing cliffs of Clogwyn y Garnedd make for a dramatic view of this fine peak. Imagine a pilgrimage to a cairn on top of this, 3,000 years ago.

Brilliant ! Did you walk over Crib Goch ? It would have been some special cairn back 3,000 years ago !
Oooh yes . Love it.
Cheers both! No, still building myself up for Crib Goch (one day). This was a crocked-knee walk up the easy Llanberis Path.
I've not attempted Crib Goch yet either. It was the easy miners track up and pyg down last time I was there. The zig zags don't do the knees any favours either !
My first trip was PYG and then the southern part of the horseshoe. The friends I was with did go over Crib Goch but I opted out. I think some less terrifying scrambling is needed first, to see how my head for heights is!
On the way back to Llanberis this time I went back along the north ridge (via Llechog) rather than on the Llanberis Path, the views of Crib Goch and the Glyders from Gyrn Las above Clogwyn Station are great.
