Crib Goch is a knife-edged arête in the Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd, Wales. The highest point on the arête is 923 m above sea level. A path leads over the arête and three rock-pinnacles to a grassy col at Bwlch Coch. This first part of the ridge is very exposed and climbing it should not be attempted in high wind or by the inexperienced. Moreover, on fine days the ridge may be very busy and queues can form.
