Overview

Snowdonia is home to some of the best grade 2 and 3 scrambles in the country – fact! What’s better is they’re close to the road, so you’ll be on rock in no time. What’s even better is the fact they can be joined up to create unforgettable days out, you can quite literally scramble from the bottom of the Ogwen valley to the summits of the Glyderau on nothing other than perfect rock. Does it get any better?! Our staff will lead all the scrambles, letting you focus on the joys of moving through the mountains. Trust our local knowledge to put the perfect weekend together for you

The Objectives

If you love scrambling and would like to gain experience of trickier scrambles that require the use of a rope, this should fit the bill. The aim is to link up multiple grade 2 & 3 scrambles into a long and inspiring journey in the mountains. You’ll learn lots during the course just by doing, but it doesn’t have a specific instructional focus. This would be a perfect stepping stone for scramblers who’d like to attend our Advanced Scrambling course but aren’t already rock climbers or anybody who’d like to gain mileage and have some great mountain adventures.
