Crib Goch is the first summit on the Snowdon Horseshoe, a narrow ridge of red rock on the north-east side of Yr Wyddfa. It reaches 923m (3028ft) and is a Furth, a Hewitt, a Nuttall and one of the Welsh 3000s. Crib y Ddysgl (1065m), the nearest higher hill, is 1.3km to the west, and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) (1085m) 1.6km south-west.
The standard route starts at Pen y Pass and follows the Pyg Track to Bwlch y Moch. From there a steep scramble climbs the east ridge to the summit. The ridge beyond is a narrow, exposed crest with big drops on both sides, followed by the Pinnacles before Crib y Ddysgl.
Crib Goch is a grade one scramble with serious exposure. Mountain rescue teams attend accidents here every year, and once you are on the crest there is no easy way off. In wind, rain or winter conditions it is dangerous.
