Mountains - The Snowdon Horseshoe
On 13/06/2006 after work in Bangor, the informal works walking club reach the start of the Crib Goch ridge, in ideal still conditions, the traverse provides some exhilarating views of the Snowdon Horseshoe & way down below to the Pyg track & across to Y Lliwedd.
On 13/06/2006 having started the moderately steep walk from Pen Y Pass & a difficult scramble up to the start of the ridge, John Jacobs reaches the two pinnacles on end of the ridge.
A portrait view along the ridge, not fully showing the extent of its height or narrow profile. The ridge is an arrete, formed by two glaciers eroding the mountain from either side.
A view from Bwlch Coch, clearly showing why Crib Goch has its name.
From the trough between Yr Wyddfa & Crib Y Ddysgl, here's a shot of the Lleyn Peninsula in fading light. In the foreground is Mynydd Mawr, the Nantlle ridge is away toward the left & in the distance Gyrn Ddu, Yr Eifl and the peninsula.
On 15/06/06 here's three views of Crib Goch broad side. Taken from Nant Peris.
