I took my wife up Snowdon on Saturday (9 Apr), we took crampons/spikes and walking axes just in case (snow was forecast)... Just as well really, the last 200m of the Pyg track was awash with walkers (approx 100), unable to go up or down the track due to the layer if snow and ice that had been dumped... Most people were wearing trainers and had no winter clothing or equipment yet insisted on ascending the most dangerous part of the track on their hands and knees, with return trips sliding down on their bums... signs at the Pen Y Pass car park stated 'winter conditions above 700m' - had it included a poster of suitable equipment/dress then a potential mountain rescue call out could have been avoided Something that Llanberis mountain rescue or the park authorities could easily sort out In our case crampons for me and snow spikes with axe for my wife proved enough for a safe summit and descent - if only for a 200m use.
