Great vid guys, you've a lot more bottle than me though to attempt that climb under them conditions. I did Crib Goch nearly ten years ago on a clear and calm day in the middle of summer. The wife still hasn't got the stains out my underpants to this day... Still at least I can say today have been there and done it!
There is so much shattered and loose rock along the ridge due to melting ice during hard winters that you have to know what you are doing.in the depth of winter.
Remember with so much ice around scrambling down the East Ridge to Bwlch Y Moch would be a death trap without ice axe and crampons and rope if things get nasty.
Ive been across in icey conditions withan experienced climber and its no fun.
@orangeagenda Have a look at clach Glas Blaven in Skye ..some excellent videos by good operators. These boys sound a bit careless for inter conditions .
my first ever scary scramble in nov 1999 and the wind n rain was nightmare! was very proud though cos I'm actually scared of heights!! haha( they 'made' me do it) now I'm hooked! we only ever do winter climbs- nice and peaceful! you guys should have ur own show ! funny and well filmed!
Jesus. I did this last year in the same conditions and it was the scariest and stupidest thing I have ever done!
Had never climbed Snowdon and had no crampons, axes, rope or drink. Was very lucky indeed. Bloody good fun though! Want to do it again... though perhaps slightly better prepared next time.
quality video....i climbed this last week, but in alot better conditions, u boys got some guts doing it in these conditions lol.... loving the accent by the way haha
definately less daunting in the summer : -)....just did it last week with my husband (Dave!) who suffered from a fear of heights for yrs, but went on a course recently and managed to enjoy Crib Goch (I have a video on of it if you're interested)
If you suffer from vertigo give Striding Edge or Sharp Edge in the lakes a go. They are no less scary but not as long as Crib Goch so its all over quicker.... heheh
awesome, went that way yesterday [easter saturday]. saw Timothy Dalton or at least someone who looked identical to him. he probably went down via jetpack
Total madness!. Is it any wonder 2 young lads have been brought down off there, the weekend just gone in body bags. Crib Goch is the best mountain in the uk for a climb and a scramble, but at the right time of year, and with all the right gear.
Fek me lads. As a Mountain Leader myself I cant condone this kind of reckless behaviour. But I've done some daft stuff meself. Good on yer, you only live once. Great vid'. Max' Kudos boys.
wow amazing video. I have only just started to do mountin walking/climing and the frist mountin i went up was snowdon. I was told about Crib Goch an it did sound amazing but after seeing that video i dont think I want to try it. Someone fell from there the day before i went up. I tock the miners track and join the pig track. Great video
Definitely an entertaining video guys, but like you said at the start you weren't carrying winter kit, so it could have got very dodgy, especially with the verglas on the holds that you mentioned near the end. Conditions like that on the ridge are downright nasty
Guys i gotta take my hat off to ya, went up crib goch today at 8 in the morning n it was a lil chilly but to do it when its all icy u've got some balls. Nice one
wcsl8r...u r an hero..stop being so patronising,who the fuk r u to call people fools...if u dont like your voluntary role then bin it.trust me life will go on without you.fool.
my mate and his posse went over crib goch on saturday, (middle of january) and he told me about your vid to understand the buzz he got making it over. Fucking hardcore that chaps nice one.
well done lads, i can totally appreciate this vid, I just got back from crib coch today.
oh, and WCSl8r how about rescuing your head from your *rse, bud. Do you have friends at all??? this is what the climbing community attitude is all about!! They are ENJOYING the climb!!!!!!!!
wcsl8r your missing what the video is all about. This is a film! It has been made to look gung ho. You've also not read the previous comments, this has already been explained. The two of us are experienced climbers who were out enjoying ourselves, hopefully this is still allowed.
If you consider the people you are regularly rescuing as "fools" I most certainly hope we never have that pleasure. With that attitude maybe a change of vocation is in order.
The number of times i've been called out to search and rescue a group of fools like this is just unbelievable. It's this gung ho attitude that gets people killed. None of you fell, this time, thankfully. I hope you realize people like myself and my crew risk our lives to save yours.
are you saying people should not enjoy the mountains and should not accept the challenge this mountain offers. are you saying you joined a mountain rescue team on the hope that their would be no mountain climbers to rescue. im not experienced but i am learning, i will one day do cribb goch and if i should fall and if i should survive, then i will expect to be greated by rescuers who have a more understanding policy to yours. the mountains are not ornaments, they are there for good use.
Great vids lads and I'm sure we didn't have as much banter when we did it in what I must say was even deeper snow, Idiots to try this if not experienced though and no we wern't either!! luckily we couldn't see the drops..
Absolutely bloody hilarious. Best bit is when the Yorkshire Pussie starts to go down the wrong way and comes back up with numb hands. Well done nobeds
if only i had of watched this before i went at the wweknd i could have done it double the speed!!! you guys are really funny!! well done... youve proved you're real men!!
legends wind and rain was bad enough but snow can kiss my ass.. the northern monkeys are made of funny stuff

Do you bother with a weather update before you set off?
I want to do the Crib Goch route this winter in the snow, but I'll probably fag out once I feel a bit of snow on me.
Are axes necessary? I can't be arsed with all the gear, just Gortex jacket, wooly hat etc haha.
