Out of curiosity, what route are you planning on taking on the Snowdon section? Are you starting on the summit (and then doing Crib Goch the wrong way) or are you starting at Pen-Y-Pass. I'm starting at Pen-Y-Pass and I'm currently looking into what is the fastest way down into Nant Peris once I've been over Crib Goch and Snowdon - I tried descending directly from Clogwyn station the other day (there's a tiny little path leading down Cwm Glas Bach) but I've heard if you carry on past Llechog to just east of Halfway Station it might be a bit quicker?
There won't be much in it, we use the Lechogg descent, but the quickest way, peak to peak, is Snowdon first, so time not being that crucial don't worry. There will be 5-10 mins in it at most. We descend the ridge from Clogwyn station, above llanberis path, around Llechogg, then at the next stile descend down the RHS of a small cwm and eventually follow the ridge down to a wall, cross this and join a path which runs to Nant. This means no road section. Cwm Hetiau and a small road section could well be slightly quicker though.

For speed..peak to peak..Snowdon first will be a lot quicker.
