Snowdonia Scrambling
and
Mountaineering  Courses

I offer scrambling courses in Snowdonia and the Lake District as these are some of the best areas in the UK to get your hands on rock whilst out in the mountains! Courses include: Guided scrambling, Introduction to Scrambling, Advanced rope scrambling, and mountaineering skills courses for the Cuillin Ridge and Alpine preparation.

Scrambling is the middle ground between hill walking and rock climbing. The last ice age has left the British mountains with signs of its existence in the form of ridges and broken rocky buttresses. With a head for heights and sure footing, what better way to explore these amazing features than to get hands on and let the adrenaline flow!
