A video of a man being told off for bypassing a line to get to the top of Wales' highest peak has gone viral but the hiker said you 'shouldn't be queuing up in nature"13:29, 24 Aug 2026Man slammed for skipping 'queue' to reach Snowdon summitRows have broken out at the top of one of the UK's highest mountains as people jump huge queues at the summit.A video caught the moment a hiker, from Manchester, was heckled and told to "chuck his phone off" the mountain after he skipped a line at the top of Mount Snowdon, also known as Yr Wyddfa. Wales' tallest peak has seen a huge influx of visitors as the hot weather this summer draws in climbers. This boom has reportedly led to some people waiting over an hour to reach the top of the 1,085m-high summit.Marc Screeton caught footage of people shouting "there's a queue you know" as he bypassed a line and went straight to the top.The 27-year-old said couldn't wait any longer to reach the top after he made a five-hour journey up the peak.The warehouse operative, speaking to the Manchester Evening News, said: "I don't think you should be queuing up in nature on a mountain; it's the same as queuing up at a bar. People naturally see a queue so they decide to join it – it's a very British thing, isn't it."I just wanted to touch the top quickly and get back down. I haven't endangered anyone or 'shoved or barged' past anyone. I did wait until it was clear to head up and touch the top."Marc recorded his video on August 8 and other people in his clip could be heard telling the man "it's out of order" and one woman even suggested people "chuck" his phone off the mountain.Despite this, Marc defended his decision and said: "I had a few people [message me] who had done the same thing, saying they did what I did just to be able to touch the top and get back down. So it wasn't just me that did it that afternoon; I just happened to have a video of it."I would say nine out of ten people are in agreement with me and are actually being really sound, but there are a couple of people hurling insults."Another hiker, Tina Millard, told the BBC the mountain wasn't "Alton Towers" and defended the queue jumping. Tina said: "I don't think that you should have to queue. It's a mountain, you should just be able to go up and that's it. We're not at Alton Towers for a ride. It's a mountain, it's for everyone."Despite this, one hiker hit out at people who skip the wait because otherwise it was "not safe". Lucy Taylor, said: "I think you should queue because it's really quite dangerous and everyone's trying to get up there - it's just not safe."An area warden for the Eryri National Park Authority, Alun Jones, has urged people climbing the peak to be "considerate" and "don't skip the queue". Over 600,000 climb the mountain, which can take 6-8 hours to complete, each year.
