Another path up Snowdon, another cloudy summit. We’ve journeyed up and down the wretched peak
from all but one direction now (Crib Gogh remains aspirational) and despite
reaching the summit on at least half a dozen occasions, we still haven’t had a
view!
But despite the lack of a panorama, our recent ascent route up the Watkin Path was surprisingly interesting, taking in the famous Gladstone Rock on the way. Typically, the pillow of cloud hovering over the whole massif briefly lifted once we were at the turn off point on our descent of the South Ridge. We’ll be back!

You managed to get some interesting pics, despite the conditions. We were fortunate in getting a clear day when we tackled the climb a number of years ago (can't remember which route we took).
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments and for reading my scribbles. I can't seem to post the photos very well but yes, we did have a good day!
