CRIB GOCH - THE KNIFE EDGE in 14 MINUTES (4K, SNOWDON - WALES)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- The Knife Edge " Crib Goch" (Snowdonia National Park). North Wales. Crib Goch is a Grade 1 scramble on Yr Wyddfa. It's a long, narrow ridge with steep drops on either side, and is known for its exposure and serious route finding. Some recommend gaining experience on easier routes before attempting Crib Goch.
Great day, stunning weather and not many people on the ridge (at least - based on my previous experience). Hope you will enjoy the footage . Leave the comment please, like and subscribe if you enjoy this video.

What a wonder climb and amazing landscape - great work!
Many thanks! I am glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you will also like the next video.
Stunning quality video of this magnificent rock 👏
Thank u very much. Not sure which resolution you watch this in (I take the highest possible) but overall impression would be even better if recorded with insta 360 . Some day…
Omg. What have you done in life to be going through this stress hell?! 😄 Looks awesome. Scary and insane, but awesome. 😎 Well done.
Thank you for sharing ❤
I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks Christopher
Great video. I dont think i could go all the way on that ridge. Can in ask what boots do you use? You obviosly have 100% trust in the grip of your boots. Thanks
@@nevans8416 hello mate, apologies for late response. I’d say it’s a little bit of everything, not just super duper boots 🥾 (even though incredibly important). I guess years spent in the mountains help massively with your confidence (walking, scrambling, climbing- both winter and summer) is an advantage. I use old Raichle GTX boots and I am sue you can tell they look 100 years old but nothing is wrong with them, hence keep using them. By the way, Crib Goch is not difficult, you should try, cross country runners do it in trainers. Feels a little bit airy in some places but you can avoid many of them by keeping to the left side. You should try 👍
That was bloody awesome mate. I did it the last time in 2012, i was 68. I didn't cover it as quickly as you did though.
Hi Martin. Comments like yours motivate even more to bring more interesting content. Thank you mate. We both know i wasn't fast at all, ha ha. I am sure if you swap boots for cross-trainers and "run" (instead walking or catching breath every 20 min) you could return to a car park in half of the time (easy). It was supposed to be a pleasure not really an "achievement". All i had to remember was the "car park ticket". I've seen ur playlist. I can see you follow the best - Alex, Chai & Jimmy. Well done.
@noexpirydate5208 Thanks for your comments. My energetic hiking/climbing days are over as you will have ascertained by my comments. A month after that Crib Goch hike, I hiked down the North Rim of Grand Canyon, camped, and out the next day. That was knackering. Utube is my saviour now.
Respect! I have a fear of heights so I doubt I'd ever be able to do that. I walk the Shropshire hills a lot and it's taken time for me to be be able to do certain paths. Small steps often and safely. Maybe one day
Hi Alex. Thanks mate, appreciate your comment. Small steps, bit by bit - wise thinking. Having said that - have u ever though about "Striding Edge" (i am sure if you take it slowly and follow others on that route - you should be able to tick another "box" on your list).
That certainly got my palms sweating 😂 Not a big fan of death defying ridge walks but that was fun, some pretty dodgy sections just when you think you’re coming to the end.
I’ve seen a few vids of Crib Goch, this was the best purely based on the fact you used a camera with a good focal length, all the others used crazy wide angle lenses to ‘fit it all in’ but doesn’t give you a real sense of being up there like this does, well done.
@@mooskamoo such positive “editing related comment” means a lot, thank you mate, appreciate it. Where possible I hold the camera, or use chest mount ( closer to my face therefore voice recording is still acceptable). If it comes to more challenging scrambling or climbing it is either helmet or chest. Check out the newest video, I find it more thrilling than crib goch
How long did it take you in reality please. Pen-y-Fan and Crybin is about my limit...
Hello mate. I was actually fairly accurate with my description at the end of this video. Started at Pen-y-Pass around 8 am and as soon as i completed Crib Goch , got to the "copa summit" stone and quickly joined PYG Track to come down. I did not go to the summit (been there many times). I must admit the initial plan was to come down via Miner's Track (not PYG) but i went a bit too far on the PYG - and it would have been tricky (and time consuming) to come down lower and re- join Miner's again. Having said that - going down via Miner's Track (pretty much flat all the way from the lake) would easily allow for much quicker walk. Maybe i could save further 20-30 min ? Got back to Pen-y-Pass 2 min after 12 midday. Literally 4 hours return, which is nothing special at all but i was not rushing, it was not the plan. My video was only 14 min compiled footage as it gets boring to watch 30 min (or more), so 10-15 min max for me. That day i had serious doubts i will enjoy the "knife edge" purely because brilliant weather and suspected CROWDS to pass by .... not easy on a Crib Goch. To my surprise it was great, completely different than expected but i was there early. Thanks
It looks a bit like Tasmania but Tasmania is more forested .
Never been… maybe one day. Thanks for your comment Louisa
Music always ruins videos 👎
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO Someone made “similar “comment in my other video but unfortunately it is pretty difficult to find a balance between those who enjoy wind and heavy breathing (camera pointing out rocks for 14 min) and the rest of the viewers who expect a “story telling” movie 🍿 being more than just informative scrambling guide . Raw footage is nice of course but not sure if for the whole 14 min. Thanks anyway.
turn the volume down then you silly sausage.
@@noexpirydate5208I hate RnB. I like climbing.
I came here for climbing, not whatever this music is
