Anyone climbed Snowdon?

[Skilid]

Hi guys,

Me and my friends want to go up Snowdon. It seems like a cool adventure, great exercise and very picturesque. Only problem is, we know sod all about it, and have never really been up a mountain before.

Basically I'm after advice for the whole trip;

- Where is a good place to stay/camp (weekend trip).
- Which route is the best? Don't mind a little hard work but we are only beginners.
- How long does it take?
- When is the best time to climb? We were thinking of going later this month.

There will be 4 maybe 5 of us going up in a car.

Any information you guys can give me would be great

Thanks!

Yeah I don't want to just go up a long path, I'd like to have bits to navigate and little bits to climb if possible too. Make it a bit interesting.

So OP did you end up walking up , and was it any good ?

No. Haven't had the time to get a trip organised. We're gonna go try out some lesser places first to see if we enjoy/manage it. I will definitely climb Snowdon one day though. Ben Nevis would be nice too, but that's a bit further away.
