Regarding the description- Snowdon isn't even close to being the 3rd tallest mountain in the UK. There are 75 mountains in Scotland taller than Snowdon
Glad you're safe but that was genuinely dangerous. It was at minimum microspikes conditions (7:08), and possibly full crampons and ice axe depending on route. Not just endangering your own life, those of mountain rescue if they had to come out to you. The correct decision was to turn back at the snowline and be safe to go again in better weather/with the correct gear. Llanberis got over 300 callouts last year. Mostly, with respect, to people doing exactly what you did. There's no way I would have continued in that if I'd forgotten my gear. That's thousands of steps with every one being a chance to slip and fall off the side, break your ankle, smash your head on a rock... Not being a jerk, just saying to respect the mountains and your own life more.
300?!? damn .. while i'm not surprised based on the people i met and helped going up the mountain, i also think it's important that every hiker knows their limits and applies those to a variety of conditions that they are in. mama nature is legit!!
Wales is pretty awesome. thanks for coming along with me on this crazy journey!
That was quite a hike. Thanks for taking us along. Didn’t really expect that elevation in the UK..
thanks for watching! it was such a fun hike. i want to go back when it's a bit more sunny to capture some of the amazing views!
