Crib Goch is described as a "knife-edged" arête in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales.

The classic traverse of Crib Goch from East to West leads up from the Pyg track to a ‘bad step’, where hands and feet are both needed briefly.

The route is far more difficult in high winds or frozen ground, and so it is recommended that walkers check the weather forecast beforehand.

[6] It is possible to ascend Crib Goch from Bwlch y Moch SH663552 or from Nant Peris, an ascent via Cwm Beudu Mawr.

Here the path meets the Pyg Track (which descends to Pen-y-Pass) at Bwlch Glas (marked by a large standing stone), before the final climb to Snowdon summit.
