Itinerary

Saturday: We’ll start with an easier mountain route to introduce scrambling and build confidence on varied terrain. Focus areas include:

• What scrambling actually is (and how it differs from hiking/climbing)

• Safe movement on rock: footwork, balance, and body positioning

• Route choice and reading the terrain

• Building confidence on steeper ground

• Group communication and pacing

Expect a full day of learning, practicing, and gradually increasing exposure and a debrief at the end of the day.

Sunday: Day two is where it all comes together on a classic Grade 1 scramble in the heart of Eryri. We’ll cover:

• Scrambling with flow and control

• Managing steeper sections calmly

• Decision-making in real mountain terrain

• Spotting and supporting others in a group

• Developing independence for future adventures

An example of some of the routes we may do are Tryfan North Face, Y Gribin, Bristly Ridge, Crib Goch, Daear Du and Crib Lem. The routes we take will be decided closer to the time and based on weather conditions and the group. You’ll finish the weekend feeling more capable, confident, and ready to explore hands-on mountain routes safely.
