Going climbing/camping down the pass on Sunday, just wondering how the roads are at the moment. I know I'll be able to get to Nant Peris from Bangor.
But what's the Pass and the other roads like for getting around to Tryfan, Idris etc
We left there on Monday evening and the snow on the roads was drivable. Capel to PYG clear after that snow. Deep powder everywhere. What are you off to climb? Good ice over on the back of Snowdon, the cwm under the cafe. Crib Goch looked white. Reckon there might not be much good ice as it was too cold. Try ukclimbing.com Take a jumper. At 6pm in Betws it was minus 14! The car heater wouldn't stop the side windows ffreezing on the inside.

Sunday night in the back of my van and the temp gauge hit -19. The landlord in the Tyn Y Coed said officially it had been -18.4. Plenty of down kept me pretty warm tho.
Up Moel Siabod yesterday which was just a powder fest but amazing views at the top of the Snowdon horseshoe. Had considered Crib Goch but going by one of the above comments it seems I made the right decision.
Roads were good when I left, from Capel to Bethesda and Llanberis but today's snow may have changed that.
