The Objectives

This is a course for the more advanced, so we’ll tackle grade 1, 2 and 3 scrambles where the terrain gets tougher, steeper and more exposed. You’ll be involved in the decision-making aspects of the day’s activity in discussion with your instructor and course buddy. Understand the logic around safety and kit needs, about weather considerations, and learn at first-hand how to challenge yourself safely

Itinerary

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

We’ll plan the itinerary in line with your needs and aspirations, depending on where the best conditions are to be found. There will be two good days ‘on the hill’. The Welsh winter can be fickle, and snow and ice conditions can’t be guaranteed. Throughout the weekend we’ll have a flexible approach to the programme to make the best possible use of the prevailing conditions. If there is no snow the course will still run. Plus, you’ll get all the fresh air and wellbeing that the great outdoors delivers naturally.

Experience Required

You’ll need to be a more advanced scrambler to take on this course, and previous climbing experience will be very beneficial. You’ll need to be a fit summer hill walker who wants to take the challenge to the next level.

In winter, Welsh scrambles and gullies become more demanding and exciting. Working together in a team of three you, your partner and your instructor will make your way up and over some of the most spectacular ridges or scrambles in Snowdonia.
