Scrambling in North Wales
Scrambling in North Wales
Take to the mountains with our experienced Mountain Leaders to learn the ins and outs of scrambling in North Wales. Throughout the day you will be learning about route selection, using guidebooks and navigation, as well as how to be safe out on the mountain and choosing the correct equipment.
Scrambling is great fun if you fancy a bit more of a challenge than your average walk! Getting to the top is always a brilliant feeling and the exposure you'll experience along the way will give the whole day a bit of an adrenaline kick! This course will give you all the basic knowledge and confidence you will need to carry on and explore the mountains in your own time! We also run guided scrambling trips in the Lake District!

Which scrambles we choose to do is dependant on weather conditions but to give you an idea on what to expect here are a few classic routes...
Crib Goch 1001m - Grade 1
This is a very popular scramble with enough exposure along its famous knife edge ridge to give you a bit of an adrenaline flutter.
Glyder Fach 990m (Bristly Ridge) - Grade 1
Starting from Ogwen Valley this is another classic ridge route.
Tryfan 915m (North Ridge) - Grade 1
A rocky scramble ascending to the two monolith stones 'Adam and Eve' that stand on top of the summit, you can even jump between them if you're feeling particularly invincible.
