What Can You Expect?

Itinerary

The mountains of Snowdonia have some of the UK's best and most iconic mountain scrambles. With towering ridges, airy traverses, atmospheric gullies, and breathtaking summit views; you can't beat a good day out scrambling in North Wales. With so many classic routes to choose from, we'll be able to tailor the perfect scramble to suit your group; The north ridge of Tryfan, Bristly ridge, Crib Lem, Y Gribbin & Crib Goch being good examples.

Scrambleing is the activity of moving over rocky terrain in the mountains. Between hill walking and rock climbing, you have Scrambling. Easy Scrambles don't normally require a rope, but you will need to use your hands on the rock at times, and it will have exposed sections. For harder Scrambles, we can use a rope, harness, and helmets to keep you protected.

Expect a challenging Exciting mountain Journey, fully guided by a mountaineering instructor, and a great intro to the world of mountain scrambles.

We'll choose the best, most iconic scramble, based on your ability and previous experience and the weather for the day.

    James is a fantastic instructor, guide and all-round good guy with whom to spend a couple of intense and amazing days. He made us feel much more adventurous and capable than we thought we were. We had two days with James, his excellent local knowledge and flexibility meant we were able to make the most of the weather with an atmospheric scramble up Y Garn, then a dazzling sunny day at the coast where we did our first multi-pitch sea cliff climbs at South Stack on Anglesey. I wish I knew more people who climbed so I could recommend him to everyone.

    I booked two sessions with James and had two wonderful days out scrambling with him. He took the time to get to know me initially and to assess my experience, ability, limitations and what I wanted to achieve. We both agreed on a preferred route (Crib Lem on Carnedd Dafydd) which proved to be stunning scenery, testing and fun in equal measures. James was clearly extremely knowledgeable and highly professional but also very good company. We had a great day out and a lot of fun but I also exceeded my expectations in terms of what I could do scrambling. Two days later, James guided my partner and myself along Bristly Ridge (we’re both in our 60s), this time using ropes which was a first for both of us. We had an absolutely brilliant session and were totally buzzing after the experience. I would certainly recommend James and I have already booked another two day rock climbing session with him.

    Booked a scrambling session with my partner: James and his team were super accommodating to our requests and change of plans due to bad weather. Simon was our guide for the day and I'm super grateful that they convinced us to do half a day of scrambling and another half day of gorge scrambling due to the rains and heavy winds. They even offered to lend us rain jackets, rain pants and wetsuits because we weren't prepared with the correct gear. The whole time I felt safe and in good hands as Simon was always very encouraging and put safety as his top priority. The views were amazing, loads of fun banter and all in all, priceless experience! I recommend them 1000% and will be contacting them for future climbs!
