‘Crib Goch is one of my favourite mountains. I like the way it seems to crouch, I like the variety of its shapes while further up the valley at Pen-y-pass I love the way it seems to rear into the sky like a Himalayan peak.
Crib Goch is a fierce and crinkled ridge made up of a fine-grained volcanic lava which weathers to a rusty-brown colour that gives it its name of red ridge or crest. I especially love the jagged ridges and the thrusting peaks when there is a strong light behind them, for it is then that they emanate a power that is stimulating to me as a painter’ (Kyffin Williams quoted in K. Williams, Kyffin Williams The Land and The Sea, Llandysul, 1998, p. 88).
