Scrambling

Introductory courses

Snowdonia Scrambling Discovery

The ideal course for summer hill walkers who want to stray a bit further off the beaten track or tackle classic hills walks and throw in a bit more adventurous terrain.  The emphasis will be on combining quality hill walking with some of Snowdonia’s classic rocky ridges to look at the skills required to move efficiently, choose a safe line, manage objective dangers and build up your confidence under the expert eye of an experienced instructor.

5-Day Hillwalker to Scrambler

Using Snowdonia as our adventure playground, we’ll spend five days exploring many of the fantastic scrambles on offer as well as covering essential scrambling skills such as simple ropework, interpreting mountain weather, route choice, navigation, choosing equipment and all the other little tricks that make life easier.  We can also add an overnight expedition to this course to get us further from the beaten track.  This course suits people with previous summer hillwalking experience and a reasonable level of fitness.

Scrambling is the new climbing.
