    Cracking footage Andy. It's nigh on 30 years since I was up there. Back when I was in the TA, we had a crack at the Welsh 3000 (all the 3000 foot peaks in Snowdonia in one day). We spent the Friday night bivvied on the summit of Snowdon (that was a cold night) then got up at sparrows fart and descended to Pen-Y-Pass to begin the ascent of the Glyder Range and Tryfan. By the time we got down to Llyn Ogwen, they wouldn't let us continue as we would have been on the Carnedd's in the dark. Gutted - but that's Army adventure Training rules for you. But I do have a pic of me mid air between Adam and Eve on Tryfan. The rusty bullet hole was going six pence - threpny bit I can tell you. There's no shame in bailing on that challenge.
    It's amazing how the weather has sculpted the rock up there, truly awesome. Sadly the state of my ankles means I'll probably never set foot up there again. Well I might get up there, but I'd never make it down without a ride in a helicopter. Cheers - Andy

    Said you were in for a treat on the North Ridge. One of those routes to savour and take your time to enjoy, much more fun than slogging up steep paths. And you've made a cracking video of it. Thanks for sharing.

    • @AndrewBeavers
      @AndrewBeavers  2 роки тому +2

  • @Olan...
    @Olan... 2 роки тому +1

    Well done Andy, a grade one scramble just carrying a day pack is a good day out in itself but carrying a full pack displaces your centre of gravity big time which effects your confidence and safety specially in strong winds so well done on the filming too. I always think those type of rock structures look like massive iron filings on a magnet.

    • @AndrewBeavers
      @AndrewBeavers  2 роки тому +1

      it was a place to be on the toes & full concentration for sure..although pushing the comfort zones we fully enjoyed it tfw.

    I’m climbed Mountain behind you on the other side camping on pen yr ole wen back in March. It was a nightmare! I’m looking to camp up here soon. I’ve looked at the route think I’ll take the easier path up via ogwen cottage and the miners path avoiding Brisly ridge. That looked very hard up Tryfan and you had packs on too.

    • @AndrewBeavers

    Sounds like you had a great time. I haven’t done the routes you have done so was good to see them in action. I was camping up there the same night further over but I went up Glyder Fach as you came down. Hope you get to enjoy more of Wales and Snowdonia in the near future, there’s always something different even when you back to the same places but taking different routes.
