'Discover Scrambling' gives us the opportunity to safely coach and lead you on classic grade 1 scrambling routes and/or potentially your first steps into mountain scrambling. The day is tailored to your experience and aspirations, combined with our extensive knowledge of potential routes, we guarantee to leave you more confident in tackling scrambling terrain.
If there is a route that is high on your tick list, we want to hear about it!
Snowdonia has plenty of possible locations to learn the craft of scrambling but the Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa, Glyderau, Moelwynion & Carneddau ranges in the North have the highest concentration of quality routes. We can be flexible and base the day from one of the villages such as Llanberis, Capel Curig, Bethesda or Beddgelert. Areas further south into Southern Snowdonia & Mid Wales also offer the potential for adventurous mountain days with sections of scrambling, the routes may not be continuous like the classics in the vicinity of Snowdon, but these exploratory mountainside ascents are so special.
On the day, depending on weather and ground conditions, we can make a decision on the most sensible option. We will be sticking to a maximum difficulty of grade 1 scrambling territory and we will not have to use climbing equipment or techniques.
Some route possibilities include ascents such as:
The Snowdon Horseshoe (including Crib Goch & Lliwedd)
The Bochlwyd Horseshoe (including Tryfan, Bristly Ridge & the Gribin Ridge)
The Southern Carneddau Circuit
Moel Siabod's Daear Ddu Ridge
Crib Lem (Llech Ddu Spur) on Carnedd Dafydd
The Nantlle Ridge
The Gribin Ridge & East Ridge of Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa
The Cwm Glas Ridge on Garnedd Ugain
Seniors Gully & Ridge on Glyder Fawr
...and many more!
