    Hiking

    Crib Goch North Ridge is undoubtedly the finest way to access the the infamous main ridge. It can be accessed from the Pass of Llanberis via the gorgeously secluded Llyn Glas or by leaving the east ridge early and traversing across the wild east facing flanks of the mountain.

    The north ridge itself narrows brilliantly as it ascends towards the intimidating main ridge in a series of spiky mini scrambles and clambers. Like Crib Goch Main, it never strays from Grade 1 scrambling territory.

    Hiking

    Either an approach route or descent route from near the farm of Blaen-y-Nant halfway down the Llanberis valley from the pass. The bottom of the ridge is a huge scree slope, much better to descend than climb.
