Climber shares breathtaking footage of one Wales' most notorious ridges

A climber has shared an incredible drone video of him traversing one of the most notorious ridges in Wales. On TikTok, adventurer Ben Wright (@benwright366) shared a short clip of Crib Goch in Eryri, which has garnered over 13k reactions and over 200 comments.

Crib Goch, which means 'red ridge' in Welsh, is an arête and is said to be the "toughest" walk up Yr Wyddfa. Although a popular narrow ridge of rock, it is recommended that only people with the necessary skillset should try and cross it.

In the fish-eye lens video shared over the weekend, adventurer Ben Wright can be seen carefully walking at the top of the ridge. Many of his followers responded to the video, with some sharing their experience of Crib Goch.

"Makes you feel alive when you do it," said one TikToker. Another one responded with: "One of the best in Wales!". While another TikToker said: "Did this route as a kid, great experience".

Meanwhile, other TikTokers weren't entirely convinced they would follow in Ben's footsteps. One TikTok user said: "I've climbed every path several times, but never this one, this shows why". While another TikToker asked: "How is he not doing that on all fours [?]".

Other videos on Ben Wright's TikTok account shows the adventure trekking elsewhere in Wales and further afield. Various clips shows him walking up Yr Wyddfa, Stob Ghabhar ridge in Scotland, Gran Paradiso in Italy, as well as the Everest base camp.
