Ive done a follow up video to this one answering some of your questions while going up the Watkin Path and then back down via the South Ridge Snowdon via the Watkin Path with Sout...
Sir Edward Watkin created this path from the existing quarry path to the summit of Snowdon to allow walkers to climb to the peak. The Snowdon Watkin Path was first opened in 1892 by Prime Minister William Gladstone in front of 2,000 people. This was the first official footpath in Great Britain, hence the importance of the ‘Gladstone Rock’ which you will see on the route.
The Watkin Path is one of the toughest routes to the summit of Snowdon with a challenging final ascent. The Watkin Path is considered to be the most challenging of the six ‘classic’ routes to the summit of Snowdon. Starting just a few metres above sea level, the route offers the biggest vertical ascent gain to the summit, as well as sections of steep and loose scree making the final approach very demanding.
The route has stunning views with a woodland section, fantastic waterfalls, and remains of all mining buildings. Many claim the Watkin Path is the best route to the summit of Snowdon and certainly now is a favourite of ours.
