  Scrambling Courses

Scrambling lies somewhere between rock climbing and mountain walking. Routes range from a few short obstacles to overcoming long exposed ridges or buttresses, that may require rope work to safeguard. This makes for varied and interesting days, putting you on terrain you never thought possible.

Courses will be aimed at your individual level. We aim to provide fun and memorable days out were you can learn new skills and techniques on the stunning mountainous terrain of Snowdonia.

Different itineraries are outlined below, depending on your experience, but all are flexible. As we are a small personal company days can be tailored to best meet your needs.

To find out more about the mountains of North Wales and different areas that are used within Snowdonia National Park, please see venues.Association of Mountaineering Instructors
