Heading up to north Wales this weekend and wondering if there is any snow left in parsley fern gully ....are crampons and ice axe recommended on the higher peaks still ?

There's snow patches but it doesn't look at all unbroken. There's still an unbroken line of white in Nameless/Cwm Cneifon though!

Hi Snorbie
Not much help really but this was Sergeant's Gully and Parsley Fern Left Hand only 3 weeks ago:

Can't imagine there is much left now...
Cheers Dave

snow has disappeared fast this last week but still some big patches- have a look at the snowdon web cam for latest view (if cloud free)

no need at all for ice axe crampons these last few days but forecast is for a cold spell at the weekend

We could see Parley Fern from the Glyderau on Saturday, surprisingly it was intact, as was Easy Gully, Cwm Cneifion and Col Gully Glyder Fach.
