Crib GochCrib Goch is not a path in its own right but a challenging diversion from the PYG Track. It is without doubt the hardest and toughest 'route' up Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) - a grade 1 scramble that goes along a narrow, exposed knife-edge ridge.

The view from the summit of Snowdon is stunning, or totally pants depending on the weather, but either way you'll be glad you did it. It's certainly a memorable experience. Despite being the highest mountain in Wales, its routes aren't technical, so you don't require years of mountaineering experience to summit.
Conclusion. The Welsh Three Peaks Challenge is a popular alternative to the National Three Peaks Challenge as it is set in stunning mountain scenery with significantly less driving. Snowdon is the most difficult of the mountains on the Welsh Three Peaks.
The Pyg Track is the shortest route to the top of Snowdon with the least amount of vertical ascent (but still a tough walk). The Pyg Track is simple to follow and the route is well maintained making this a good route for less experienced hillwalkers.
Ben Nevis is purportedly the hardest mountain (and highest peak) of the Three Peaks Challenge. That's why people tend to do it first if they're taking the 24 hour challenge.
If you're an inexperienced climber or attempting Nevis for the first time, we'd recommend going with a guide. Not only will they keep you safe while enjoying the challenge, but they'll make the trip way more fun (and you might even pick up some bonus mountaineering skills on the way).
