Hello all, first time here so go easy,
I have climbed on and off for many years mostly at the local wall in notts and a few times outdoors (black rock and stanage edge) but as i'm getting older and waking up each day with a different pain lol i have gone off the scene for awhile now...
so this year would like to start doing walks and finding some nice places to go, I really like the idea of snowdon and also grib goch.... what would you advise on what i need to walk first before i take on the grib and what kind of equipment would i need for walking as a basic set up?
I will be going up snowdon in the next three weeks to do the pyg track then i thought about doing moel siabod at the beginning of May and aiming for grib around the end of May..
If you have experience of climbing outdoors then i would say you'd be fine to go straight for Crib Goch, i've done the route with people with 0 hiking, scrambling or climbing experience before and they absolutely loved it and didn't find the route too challenging, albeit the length of the horseshoe as a hole.
