Snowdon's Pyg Track: How Difficult is it?

While this route isn't the most difficult, it's not the easiest path to the summit either.

Great video, thanks. Did this last week, up the Pyg then back along the Miners. My advice is to start very early- we started at 7.30am and got back to the car park at 1.30pm, but by about 11.00am the paths were crowded all the way up and queues were building up on the narrower sections of the route, so I expect it would then take more than 6 hours to complete, and there would be long queues to gets summit picture

Outside of summer and early autumn, carry your cramp's.

I love hiking but I have a fear of exposed sections and ridges. I've done Rangers and Llanberis Path but not Pyg or Miners. Are there any exposed sections?

Is this accessible by public transport?

Just today the llanberis walk and it was very steep in parts ? Also the footpaths are very poor in most parts ? Not to sure how to believe you
