Scrambles

Q. I have recently walked to the top Snowdon via Crib Goch - see Walks

• 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

The walk was fantastic and I am looking for similar types of walk (really it's the scrambling that I am looking for).

Can anyone recommend similar walks or information on scrambling.

Thanks,

Joe, Bristol

A. Well, the North Ridge of Tryfan is quite testing in places - follow walk cw119 Tryfan from Glan Dena, Llyn Ogwen and continue West instead of turning South for Heather Terrace just beyond point 2 to gain the ridge.

Further afield, the obvious one that comes to mind is Sharp Edge in the Lake District - see Walks

• c117 Blencathra and Knowe Crags (Blease Fell) via Sharp Edge from Scales

• c191 The Glendermackin Round from Mungrisdale

• c245 Blencathra from Mungrisdale

• c383 Blencathra via Sharp Edge from Scales

Striding Edge on the way to Helvellyn has some scrambling on it - see Walks

• c213 Helvellyn from Glenridding

• c220 Helvellyn via Striding Edge from Glenridding

• c264 The Grisedale Round from Patterdale

• c269 The Grisedale Horseshoe from Patterdale

• c427 Helvellyn via Striding Edge from Patterdale

But neither are up to the intensity of Crib Goch.

Hope this helps.
