One of the UK’s most famous ridgelines, the Crib Goch arête is an exposed blade of rock within the technical remit of those with a stout head for heights and scrambling ability.

Best for the sure-footed and scrambling savvy who thrive on adrenaline and are at ease with exposure. The views are fairly spectacular, too.
