Clockwise, starting & finishing at Joe Brown's shop in Capel Curig, solo, unsupported, winter conditions, carried full safety kit, filled up from streams, with loo stops at PYP and Llanberis. This is my second attempt, the first was on the 29th Dec a few days prior. I thought the FKT was just within reach so I tried again. The conditions were mostly perfect with it being sunny, dry and temperatures hovering around 0c, and dipping in and out of snow showers over the Glyderau. The bogs were mostly frozen and I had tungsten spikes in my shoes so grip was good on the ice. Tough but very enjoyable route.
