Scrambling Courses, Snowdonia, North WalesScrambling Courses, Snowdonia, North Wales

Snowdonia’s high peaks offer some of the finest scrambling in the UK. With rocky ridges and high mountains, this is the perfect place to learn the adventurous way to the high summits.

Scrambling holds an element of risk therefore knowing how to look after yourself in exposed  and high places is an essential skill. Our scrambling courses look at the ropework needed to safeguard ascent and descent from the high peaks and also how to retreat if things don’t go to plan.

We have a no nonsense approach to running open courses - if you are booked on the course, it will be running.  We never cancel a course due to low numbers.  We also keep the ratios low, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost in a large group.  For you, this means you get as much time as possible with the instructor, and as much out of your course as you want.
