Welsh 3000s...?

I think you'd struggle to do Crib Goch without scrambling, and Tryfan would be pretty-much impossible. Neither peaks are difficult, you just need to work out why you don't like scrambling then cure the problem. It'll open up a whole world of fun!

I'm doing the 3000s again this weekend, weather permitting. Last time I did it I couldn't walk properly for a fair old while afterwards (as in, for a few weeks). This weekend I'm hoping to halve the time managed last time... It could be painful.

Tryfan's pretty mild scrambling if you're doing a S-N 3000's route, just make sure you come off down the path on the west side rather than trying to follow the North ridge down.

Crib goch is more exposed but apart from the pinnacles (which can apparently be bypassed but I've never bothered) not really technical.

If you want to do 'All' the 3000s you need to include Castell y Gwynt which adds a further 50 feet up and down of scrambling, but it's enjoyable. The summit rockpile of Glyder fach involves some clambering over rocks with big gaps between too, and can be time consuming if you don't know the best rocks to clamber up.

None of these are avoidable if doing the 3000s but shouldn't be a problem for anyone with some scrambling and climbing experience.

The scree sections - getting off Crib Goch, up Glyder Fawr and down from Glyder Fach (and Tryfan if you take the shortest route to the road) are far more of a hassle (and in places more dangerous) than the scrambling.

Planning it as a weekend, even with 2 overnights, is still not easy if you need to do a round trip. Have a look at the several other threads on the 3000s, the most recent of which does indeed discuss public transport alternatives for leaving the car somewhere.

Friday night late start means you'll probably only make it up to the first peak. Sunday return walk/transit to the car will mean there may not be much time for actual route walking on the Sunday so basically you're still looking at a single day 3000s walk, with camp/bivvys somewhere near each end.  

If you have enough time on the Sunday and are going to use transport for the return trip you may be able to leave a few peaks for the morning - a N-S route with the car at Aber, a camp at Llyn Anafon or on Foel Fras on Friday and another in Cwm Glas Mawr / Cwm Uchaf ready for doing Crib goch via the North ridge in the morning should leave time to get to Snowdon mid morning, back down to Pen y pass for lunch and get public transport back to the car by late afternoon.

A 'round trip' from the car is a far longer undertaking, but easiest is probably parking at Llyn Ogwen, fitting in the Carneddau as an 'out and back' (?with a camp on the ridge somewhere) and cutting across the miner's track between Snowdon and Ogwen to avoid doing the glyders twice.
