Climbing Snowdon on Christmas Eve was one of the most intense and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. The weather was absolutely brutal — strong winds, freezing temperatures, and icy paths turned what is normally a fairly steady hike for me into a real test of endurance and determination. Usually I reach the summit much faster, but this time the wind was howling so hard that staying on the trail was a challenge. My boots were slipping on frozen ground, and every step had to be taken with full focus. When I finally reached the top, the wind was so powerful it almost knocked me over — honestly, I nearly got blown off the mountain. 😄 But despite the harsh conditions, standing on Snowdon on Christmas Eve felt magical. The cold air, the wild sky, and the sense of achievement made it unforgettable. It was tough, yes — but absolutely worth every frozen step. If you ever want to experience Snowdon in its raw, wild beauty, try it in winter… just be ready for a serious adventure.

Did this for my fourth time on Monday 29th December. I think the last time I summited it was in 2019 when staying in Bet-wys-coed, and I forgot just how challenging a climb it actually is in terms of energy expenditure. Worth it though, and on the sunniest day that I've ever done it - in December! I took some amazing photos, and I met a lovely couple along the way whom I kept bumping into on my way down to Pen-y-Pass. That hostel, by the way, was much needed for warmth, and a quick beer whilst waiting for the bus back to Llanberis. A note about Spikes: they are absolutely necessary for traversing across lengthy patches of ice. There were folk without Spikes, and their progress was impeded; some were slipping over etc. I was surprised by how many unprepared individuals - the sort that one normally sees photographing every single thing they see - there were that didn't even have on walking boots but running shoes! Takes all sorts I suppose!

Climbed the pyg track in December, and could only get to about 1km from the summit because of the ice. There are beautiful views on the way up, and I'm sure even more so at the summit.

I took the Miners' path with my family and my dog. This is so worth it. Feeling of accomplishment and the views are amazing. We were queueing for about 30min to take a picture on the summit. The weather was perfect so lots of people turned up. The only thing I didn't realise up until then, is that some people claiming to have climbed the Snowdon have actually arrived by train 🤦♀️🤣

Visited Snowdon on 26 July 2025 a truly memorable experience! Hiked ~7 km from 300 ft to 3,500+ ft elevation. Some sections were steep and challenging, but the scenery all the way up was breathtaking. The summit was busy but totally worth the effort. There’s also a train option (£30 one way, £45 return) for those who prefer a more relaxed journey. Whether hiking or riding, Snowdon is a must-see if you’re in Wales!
