'''Crib Goch''' is described as a "knife-edged" [[arête]] in the [[Snowdonia]] [[National parks of England and Wales|National Park]] in [[Gwynedd]], Wales. The name means "red ridge" in [[Welsh language|Welsh]].

The highest point on the [[arête]] is {{convert|923|m|ft}} above sea level. All routes which tackle Crib Goch are considered mountaineering routes in winter or [[Scrambling|scrambles]] in summer—meaning that they must cross "graded territory" as defined in Steve Ashton's ''Scrambles in Snowdonia''.<ref name="Steve Ashton">Steve Ashton, Scrambles in Snowdonia, (Cicerone Press, 1992)</ref> The easiest of these lines (the ‘bad step’ part of the route) is given a scrambling grade of Grade 1 (the most difficult being Grade 3—routes more difficult than Grade 3 are considered [[Rock climbing|rock climbs]]).
