    Depends what the weather, and particularly the wind is doing. Plenty of people are killed there every year.

    Rhyl.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Plenty of people are killed there because lots of people do it!

    The actual odds of dying doing it are fairly low per time you do it. It's like the M1 - lots of deaths but only because there are lots of people making journeys on it.

    It's all about the risk per time you do an activity. Like base jumping. Not many people are killed doing it, but that's only because there a only a few people crazy enough to do it!

    Same goes for any mountaineering. Apart from the genuinely massive peaks, where oxygen starvation can lead to some odd behaviour, It's not a particularly dangerous activity.
    But Crib Goch still warrants respect, since the winds can go from a calm breeze to 60mph gusts in the space of a few short minutes. Couple that with near zero visibility when the clouds come in, and you'd be an idiot for underestimating it.

    For about a millisecond I thought "too far?"

    Then I realized that it was you posting and figured you'd expect nothing less. :lol:

    Rhyl is a very odd place. It's kind of two halves, you've got some very nice houses at one end, and then, well, you haven't at the other end, shall we say? :lol:

    I went to Rhyl once. I was stared at like some weird outsider because I don't have webbed fingers and my Father is not related to my Mother.

    Nah, you're probably mistaken, RupertCommunicator. Chances are some of the locals were eyeing you up wondering if you had any heroin on you, and whether they should rob you to find out :lol:
