Snowdon via the Pyg Track
Snowdon via the Pyg Track
🎬 In this weeks video I reunite with an old friend amidst the stunning views around Snowdonia. It’s been four years since I last ventured up Snowdon, with the last time being the first day of lockdown back in 2020.
🥾 Gaz and I have completed Snowdon together many times always via the Llanberis back in the day, however today I would be leading this guided hike up the renowned Pyg Track and descending via the Miners Track…a route I’ve done many times solo.
🇦🇺The motivation for this hike was to reconnect with a lifelong friend Gaz, who had flown in all the way from Australia for his brothers wedding - we hadn’t seen each other in a decade.
🏔️ Snowdon, or should I say Yr Wyddfa, stands at 1,085m (3,560ft) above sea level and is the tallest mountain in Wales. The Pyg Track is one of the most popular routes running alongside Crib Goch, an epic ridge walk. Even through the wind was almost non-existent making it near perfect conditions, I decided against the ridge walk for today as Gaz and his bothers weren’t equipped in the right footwear so I’ll come back for that another day.
