Crib Goch is a knife-edged arête in the Snowdonia National Park in the county Gwynedd in Wales. The highest point on the arête is 923 m above sea level. A path leads over the arête joining Snowdon via the sister peak Garnedd Ugain in the west. In the east the path meets the Pyg track descending down to Pen-y-Pass carpark. To the south of the arête lies Snowdon's famous Glaslyn and Llyn Llydaw lakes. To the north is the Pass of Llanberis.
This arête is very exposed and climbing it should not be attempted in high wind or by the inexperienced.
On fine days the ridge may be very busy and queues can form.
