The Lab #001

Safety is my absolute priority. I am professionally trained to manage mountain risks, and I hold a current Outdoor First Aid certificate. While it’s normal to experience "four seasons in one day" in Eryri, we handle it through preparation: • Inclement Weather: With the right clothing and footwear, most wind and rain won't stop the adventure. I monitor the MWIS (https://www.mwis.org.uk/forecasts/english-and-welsh/snowdonia-national-park)(Mountain Weather Information Service) and Met Office (https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/specialist-forecasts/mountain/snowdonia)forecasts leading up to our day. • Flexible Itineraries: If the forecast is unsuitable for your chosen peak (e.g., high winds on a ridge), I will suggest a more sheltered, high-quality alternative so you still get your day on the hill. • Safety First: In the rare event of dangerous conditions (such as lightning or extreme weather warnings), we will discuss rescheduling or a refund as per my Booking Terms & Conditions.(https://www.mountaincraft.co.uk/booking-terms-and-conditions)

This is the most common question we get. Unlike large charity events or military selection, our groups are small (max 1:6 or 1:4). This allows us to manage the pace so nobody is left behind. If you are worried, drop me a message (https://www.mountaincraft.co.uk/contact)before booking, we can pick the right challenge for you.

Not necessarily. As detailed in our kit lists, you mostly just need sturdy footwear and waterproofs. Once you book, you’ll get a comprehensive list. We also have high quality equipment available for hire if you’re missing something specific, just make sure you contact us (https://www.mountaincraft.co.uk/contact)in advance.

Absolutely. I (Jacob) run the bookings personally. If you have a specific medical concern, a worry about heights, or just want to check availability, just WhatsApp me (https://wa.me/447528941657)or call me on 07528 941657. I’d rather have a 5 minute chat now to ensure you have the best day possible.
