Hello there,
I'm a landscape photographer who's fell in love with Snowdonia and although I've had little mountaineering experience in general, I've set myself to summit the Glyders, either from Cwum Idwal or following the Miner's track that starts from Pen y Gwryd.
I'm planning my next visit there in about two weeks time and would appreciate if someone could possibly advice me on the best kind of boots/crampons to use.Last time I went there (about two weeks ago) I had to give up trying to summit Snowdon and Y Garn because of the snow and generalinadequacy of my equipment.
Also, which route to the summits of the Glydersdo you think would be best suited to a beginner like me?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
Francesco
