I would not go up Snowdon again , unless it was mid week and very early.
The first time I walked up with a friend decades ago , we started really early , and it was wonderful to see the sun rising as we got higher , but even in those days I was surprised by how many people were at the top and even more so to see the cafe , which I did not know about .
I have been several times since but the thought of so many people milling around at the top puts me off now .
My daughter would like to go and so the only chance would be when all other children are also off school and that makes it certain there would be crowds .
I see the predicament for many , especially if they are working long hours , week in and week out . They say to themselves that one day they will walk Snowdon and touch the summit .....and that is what they do .Why don`t they go somewhere equally lovely albeit not so high .? Its that thing in life isn`t it , where we seek those memories & the bagging right , even if created with many dozens of others at the same time ..
I reckon that some people actually enjoy the crowds too . Being alone doesn`t do it for them . It is the opposite for me though .
