The Snowdon Horseshoe is a classic Snowdon route that takes in the spine-tingling grade one ridge scramble that is Crib Goch, the pinnacles up to Garnedd Ugain that you’ll need to climb up and over before reaching the summit of Snowdon. You’ll then descend down the scree slope at the top of the Watkin Path before veering off at Bwlch Ciliau for more scrambling over Y Lliwedd and then joining the Miners’ Track back to your start point. Definitely a challenge only for the bravest! The route is a little over seven miles (11.4km) and will take around six hours.
