5 hours each way
I walked it last Oct with a 5yo, my partner, and myself carrying the 1yo. I can confirm this time is accurate if you are travelling at the pace of a whiny 5 year old and stopping lots for snacks and to breastfeed. You, I'm guessing, won't have so much to slow you down?
We went up from the car park at Pen-Y-Pass. Followed the Miners track up and the Pyg back down. If you want pure speed then go for Miners up and down but it's less interesting as it's basically a non-tarmac road used by 4x4s from the water company. If you want the most fun route up then Crib Goch as Juanito says. Plenty of videos online if you want to see what it's like.

Has anyone ever run up Snowdon? I'm heading there in a month, and would love to visit the summit but I don't have the 5 hours each way to burn by hiking/walking. Any advice would be appreciated.
