2nd visit to take photo and Grid Ref. ~~ 30/09/92 A circuit of the Snowdon Horseshoe with Andy Withers and Neil Dring going over Crib Gogh, so we MUST have passed by this TP, though sadly I can't find any photos of the pillar from the photos I took on the day. The date is a bit of a best guess, as close as I can work out after nearly 30 years!

Second visit, the previous one 45 years earlier. Thick cloud above 950m so no view - but a lovely day lower down. With Twiggy from Llanberis, Moel Cynghorion first and then up the upper part of Snowdon Ranger, with short cut to Garnedd Ugain summit. Didn't bother with Snowdon. Down Llanberis path - never again!

Excellent conditions for time of year, sunny, calm and dry. Visited as part of Snowdon horseshoe. With no one to follow, made a pigs ear of climb up to Crib Goch and again on ridge to Crib-y- Ddysgl but plenty of figures around summit of Snowdon which is sitting above a vast sea of low lying white cloud stretching south as far as the horizon. Pillar very knocked about.

We came up Watkins path which was relatively quiet then as we came over the top and approached Snowdon Summit it was swarming with people. In the hunt for a proper summit we headed here and, as it was a clear day, got just rewards of a fabulous view back to Snowdon and now those pesky people were just dots on the hill top! Such a shame this trig point seems to be fading away.

So from the beautifully restored Snowdon trig my eye spots the familiar shape on the second highest Welsh peak...just a little higher than the Carneddau and a lovely short addition from the PyG. This feels as a summit should... wind scraped, short grass and moss gives way to a snowy ridge, slate mines and spoil contrast beyond. Sea glitters out to Yns Mon and Lleyn where I was on some of my last walks before lockdown two years ago.So all the more uplifting to be on this quiet cold high place today.

Started from almost full Pen-y-Pass car park (£10, park and ride from Llanberis if full) at about 08:00 and were treated to magnificent sunrise. The Met Office absolutely spot on again with their forecast. Followed the Pyg track up with amazing views. We had checked social media comments for surface conditions; the slushy snow on the final "zag" of the path was manageable. Then a straightforward trek up to the trig. The score of 8 is based upon the views; the trig is in a very sorry state (see photo).

First time walking the Crib Goch ridge to Snowdon which was absolutely superb. 6.15am start and clear all the way to the trig with incredible views so 10/10 for this walk (although most of the best views are before the trig itself). Soon after, the cloud set in and we were greeted with a train coming out of the mist. Snowdon itself was rainy with no view. Cracking morning though. One to remember. Headed south in the afternoon to do Cadair Idris too as training for national 3 peaks.

Nobody else up here after 9pm but plenty of noise from the folk opposite on Snowdon until they gave up. Sunset at about 9.45, then first walkers arrived at 4am but no more until 7 as I was leaving

Although the weather today turned out to be rather wet, at least it wasn't too cold, well, not until that is, the water got the better of my not-so-water-proof waterproofs, which also resulted in my wallet and contents becoming soaking wet and my iPhone packing in, still, the walk up the mountain wasn't too bad, I've done it in much harsher conditions before. After making my way down from Garnedd Ugain, I then rejoined the path and made my way to Yr Wyddfa, where oddly, the summit train passed carrying just gas cylinders! No views today, head in clouds.

Came up the Pyg Track from Pen-y-Pass. The notice bard said that it was the most challenging tracks up Snowdon but I tohught not - it was a steady and interesting climb. On reaching the col I turned right and came the short distance up to this trig and summit before backtracking and going up Snowdon. Cloud and no visibility greeted me on this top but luckily the weather cleared fr me after this.

Totally enjoyed my trip up majestic Snowdon via the Miners' Track and not wanting the walk to end, thought that Garnedd Ugain would be an easy diversion. And so it was. At that point I gave into temptation to carry on along the ridge to Crib Goch. Ignorance is bliss, but there was a party of teenagers set to do it as well; so hard could it be. Crig Goch as it turned out is an amazing scramble on a knife edge of a ridge. There was little wind,no frost, perfect visibility, a great place for an adventure! That said, we did pass a group where one of the party was cragfast. He was shouting "What the ***** have you brought me here for?" and I didn't envy the leader sorting that one out. High score then for a memorable day.

Came to Snowdonia especially to do the Snowdon Horseshoe – stayed in Llandudno for two nights with my old work mates Bob and Geoff. Very good weather with no wind and some sunshine making the attempt possible for us. Not been on this route since the mid 70s and its got much more difficult and scary since then. Quite a few folks on Crib Goch mostly overtaking us but by the time we reached the railway there were dozens of walkers about. Great viewing conditions.

Good location, you can get to this trig (unlike snowdon on a busy day)! Being to this trig many times, usally as part of Snowdon Horseshoe, this is first logged visit. Since then have been there on 11/2/2004.

In the mid 1990's I started walking in Snowdonia, then for 3 years I did all the 3000 footers (in each year, not in 24hrs). Will try and pin down the date more accurately

The second 'summit' on a full round of the Welsh 3000s, which started on Yr Wyddfa at dawn, and finished north of Drum a good 12 hours later. I felt fit in those days...

Ran up to subsidIiary summit, whilst family had tea in café. Descent via Watkin Path, in the mist, unexpectedly precipitous off the summit. Needed all my faith in the compass to convince the ladies we were going the right way! Had views by the time we reached Y Lliwedd, then steady yomp back to car. Chinky nosh for late dinner.

A totally gratuitous trig bag at the time as there were too many people coming up Crib Goch to enjoy a descent with a big rucsac. Down to Pen y Pass via the Miners Path. Bus to camp in Nant Peris. Day only ruined by seeing England lose on penalties to the Germans in the Veynol Arms.

Not sure of date - sometime in the spring, I think. Wasn't interested in the things in those happy days!

On a backpack around various Welsh tops.. Last day, up from Deiniolen and Llanberis and down Crib Goch. Missed out Yr Wyddfa, thought it would be a good trick on a first visit, was rather proud of never having been up the thing in those days. Pillar was Ok back then. Had a brew before descending Crib y Ddysgl/Crib Goch, the ridge almost deserted on a bank holiday Monday. Few descend this way. Fun with a big pack but easy. This is the original Snowdon Pillar, the Wyddfa one coming later.

Second peak on a curcuit of the 14 3000 footers starting at Pen-y-Pas, hence the early time. I think the approach along Crib Goch deserves at 10/10 score! Unfortunately in the clouds.
