Description
Crib Goch is described as a knife-edged arte in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales. The name means red ridge in the Welsh language.
The highest point on the arte is 923 metres 3,028 ft above sea level. All routes which tackle Crib Goch are considered mountaineering routes in winter or scrambles in summer.
This first part of the ridge is exposed with precipices below, having resulted in several fatalities, even of experienced mountaineers the Snowdonia National Park Authority describe it as not a mountain for the inexperienced.
An arte is a thin, almost knife-like, ridge of rock which is typically formed when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys.
