Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

It is a long way down. You would never get me close to this, I am so terrified of heights. Nevertheless, I am missing much as this is a great perspective.

@Marion: Thank you Marion. It is very hard work but worth every second

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia

Great shot. Just the sort of place I hike to and look down nervously. Must have a head for heights to be here.

@Michael Skorulski: You would love it, After about half an hour its hands on all the way to the top,which stands at 915m

Ron from Saint Louis, United States

The people in the shot really add great interest and give a sense of the scale. You are a much braver man than I to negotiate these rugged trails!

@Ron: Thank you Ron

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

That looks like a great climb to me, especially the final scramble up the bare rocks. I must try to get over there some time.

@Richard_Irwin: I think its the best in snowdonia. the great thing about this mountain is that this is about half way and there's bare rock all the way to the top.

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States

You captured the height perfectly... excellent.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

A nice composition that introduces both near and far elements. And the hikers introduce a nice "punch" of color among the rugged terrain.
