Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) routes.

Crib Goch, Train, Cafe on Summit. Mostly Harmless, highest dump in the UK. If that's whetted your appetite, see below for some routes around this peak!

PYG newSnowdon via PYG track. One of the popular routes up Snowdon from Pen y Pass. Hard
Snowdon Moel Eilio and Snowdon via Ranger Really long way up Snowdon. Makes a satisfyingly challenging longer day. (21km, 1400m ascent) Strenuous

Snowdon via Ranger Path. Another assault on the tallest mountain after work. This time from the quiet, straightforward Ranger path. (13.5km, 1000m ascent) Hard

Snowdon South Ridge Snowdon South Ridge at Dusk. Amazing quick assault onYr Wyddfa after work. Recommend evening walking to anyone with the exeperience to descend in dark if needed. (12.5km 950m ascent) Hard
Aran from Beddgelert Yr Aran from Beddgelert. An easy, off path walk up to this little visited summit. (14km, 800m ascent) Moderate
pic Wyddfa South ridge and Moel Cynghorion. Beautifully frosty start, and an amazing inversion from the top. (16km, 1200m ascent) Hard
pic Watkin Path. Wet and windy walk, enjoying the summit to ourselves. No view however! (13.5km, 1200m ascent) Hard
South Ridge (C)Mark Parry Snowdon South Ridge from Rhyd Ddu. Arguably the best walking route up Wales' tallest mountain.
aran Yr Aran from Rhyd Ddu. Short and sweet and full of attitude. Just right to spend on an afternoon, or even on the way to bag the big one. (9.5km,650m ascent)
llyn dwythwch Moel Eilio Ridge - Llanberis (12km, 4.5 hours)
