After seperating, the three of us are pushing on toward the top. About 45 mins from the top we get a call through on the comms unit from the lads saying they've reached the summit! Not sure if this means Crib Goch or Garnedd Ugain or Snowdon? Then lost all comms!!
After that the clouds descend and we can only see about 15 yards infront of us. Slowly getting soaked through, winds picking up! Hope the lads are ok at the top?
The peak the four lads were on about was Crib Goch.
Arrived at 12th peak at around 11:00am ish. Crib Goch, 923m.
We three reached the top around 11:30am and headed right and climbed up to the peak of Garnedd Ugain.
Arrived at 13th peak at 11:45am. Garnedd Ugain, 1065m.
Arrived at 13th peak at around 1:20pm ish. Garnedd Ugain, 1065m.
We met the lads in the cafe around 2:00pm and got their after action report. The weather had come in very early on for them which meant they had very poor visuals from early on! They had a tough time of it up there, straddling the knife edge on all fours in soaking wet conditions. Not the ideal situation to be in, on a knife edge with sheer drops either side of you in strong winds!
After the lads had had a warm drink we set back out in the rain to finish the job!
