Walkers packed onto one of the most dangerous routes in Snowdonia at the weekend. This image of a queue was taken at Crib Goch, one of the peaks which forms part of the Snowdon horseshoe. It is a treacherous knife-edge arete with a 1,000ft drop on either side.
Despite the 923m peak being notoriously dangerous, there were reportedly queues of around 100 people on the summit on Saturday. The mountain has claimed the lives of numerous people over the years- most recently in February 2021 when an experienced walker fell 1,000ft.
The summit of Crib Goch is on one of the routes to the top of Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). It is by far the hardest and most dangerous route to the summit of Wales' highest mountain.
