Did the Snowdon horseshoe yesterday. Waste deep snow where it's drifted, visibility wasn't great which makes Crib Goch a bit easier ironically, but otherwise good conditions. Particularly like the 10inch long horizontal snow formations on this carn near the summit

I did Crib Goch last summer. Amazing, it was can't wait to do it again.
Any other decent ridge walks around?

Crib Goch scared the crap out of me in June. I don't envy you being up there in this kind of weather. (Glad you enjoyed it though!)

AJ - yes, If I hadn't been on my own I'd have been doing something a bit more interesting than Crib Goch. Just didn't fancy being "the numpty from London who called out mountain rescue", was sticking to a route I knew.

Love it on warm summer evenings when the rocks are warm and it's quieter, then on the summit as the light fails followed by torchlit descent of Pyg track back to PenYPass.

In zero vis when plastered in ice - eeek!. Well done.
