Roped Scrambling - Grade 3


The next step. If you are a keen grade 1 scrambler it can be hard to know what to do when you want to get on something a bit trickier. Will it require a rope? I can guide you on grade 2 and 3 scrambles and give you the confidence to enjoy these exposed ventures in the mountains of Snowdonia. There are many brilliant routes on the east face of Tryfan, Clogwyn y Person arete on Crib y Ddysgl, Cneifion Arete on Glyder Fawr are just a few of the classics available to explore. I can also provide days of instruction so you can develop your scrambling skills to become independent. 

Scrambling Guidebook for North Wales


My friend Garry Smith has put many hours in to getting his book North Wales scrambles published, the photos are great and the descriptions aren't bad either! If you are going to buy a guidebook I would strongly recommend this one.

Become an independent scrambler


Do you want more of a challenge on your days in the mountains? Crib Goch & Tryfan are iconic and famous mountains that require scrambling to get to the top. This course aims to help you build confidence in being able to tackle summits like this, and perhaps make the step a little further into tricker steps that might require some rope work. We will work on your scrambling movement, route finding skills and some rope work to help keep yourself safe on any more exposed steps. We have some open courses, or if the dates don't work please get in touch to discuss alternatives.
