'''**This route will take longer than the Crib Goch route and route finding may not be easy. It is graded harder than Crib Goch and therefore is not suitable for those new to scrambling. It is not recommended in wet weather. Either the Scrambles in Snowdonia guide (or a photocopy of the route) should be taken for route finding.**'''
