  • Improve your balance, footwork and ability to move efficiently over steep and rocky terrain.
  • Learn how to identify suitable scrambling lines and interpret route descriptions.
  • Understand how terrain, weather and conditions influence route choice and decision-making.
  • Build confidence negotiating exposed sections of scrambling terrain.
  • Discover new routes and develop the confidence to continue exploring Eryri's mountains.

Itinerary

* Please note: Itinerary is subject to weather and availability.

Day 1 – Discovering a classic
We'll discuss your previous scrambling experience and aspirations from the course. After reviewing kit and weather, we'll head into the hills to explore one of Eryri's classic scrambles. Your instructor will introduce movement skills, route finding and managing more exposed terrain. The emphasis will be on enjoying the journey while developing your confidence and understanding of scrambling.

Day 2 – A new mountain adventure
Our second day brings another of Eryri's outstanding scrambling routes. Depending on the group and conditions, we may tackle a longer ridge or a more sustained scrambling journey, putting the skills developed on day one into practice.

You may take a more active role in identifying the route, choosing suitable lines and making decisions along the way.
We'll finish with a review of your experience and suggestions for future scrambling adventures.

Routes will be selected according to the group's experience, fitness, weather and mountain conditions.
