Is there an alternative to Crib Goch?

Q. We are planning to climb Snowdon and would like to try the Crib Goch route but seeing photos of it, I feel rather daunted!

We're experienced walkers, but have done very little scrambling (Striding Edge and a bit on Scafell Pike only).

Is it possible to still do Crib Goch, but avoid the worst of the scrambling bits?

We would also like to take a dog if possible.

A. The simple answer is no. All the alternative routes avoid Crib Goch completely so I'm afraid it is all or nothing.

To walk Crib Goch see

• gw136 The Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) Horseshoe from Pen-y-Pass

• gw153 Crib Goch from Pen-y-Pass

• gw198 The Welsh 3000's (Snowdon Area) from Pen-y-Pass

Hope this helps
