We stayed in the NMLC hut near Capel Curig, so we could make the most of the weather, which for once was kind .. there was a blanket of new snow on the mountains, it had frozen overnight and more importantly the snow/ ice routes were in condition.
So despite the blanket of cloud hiding the tops we headed off for Snowdon, and the Llanberis pass.. from here we raced up the Pyg track and along Cribgoch, before dropping down and traversing for a mass climb of the trinity gullies (no real technical difficulties and the snow was in perfect condition), finishing on the summit in the mist.
A memorable day celebrated in style down the pub.
