Quality Guiding & Instruction
Based in Snowdonia North Wales, we offer bespoke climbing and mountaineering courses.
Scrambling
Get to grips with some of Snowdonias beautiful scrambling ridges. Snowdonia has plenty to offer from simple scrambles to steeper more complex ones. Classic ridges like Crib Goch require a steady head and plenty of previous mountain walking expereince. We can help you get to grips with all the skills required to get out on easy unroped scrambles or help with the ropework required for trickier adventures on grade II and III scrambles such as Cnefion Arete.
