Snowdonia Climbing & Scrambling Weekend - SCRAMBLING

We're back in North Wales for another epic weekend of mountaineering in one of our favourite mountain huts!

This event is only open to people booked onto the bunkhouse weekend. Please book your place on the bunkhouse event as well as this scrambling event. 

While you wont need technical rock climbing skills you will definitely need a head for heights, to be sure footed and have a sense of adventure; all the scambling options will involve some "hands-on-rock" during the day. 

This event is for scrambling on both the Saturday and Sunday. 

Saturday

We will offer a few scrambling options; 

• Two different Grade I routes for maximum of 4-5 Members each (including leader). Essentially Grade I is that hazy middle ground between hill walking and rock climbing; it's the art of moving among spiky, steep or exposed terrain, typically attempted without ropes/protection and so needs a head for heights and the us hands on rock over the trickier sections.
• One Grade II/III route for a maximum of 3 Members (including leader). Here, the line between scrambling and rock climbing becomes a lot more blurred, and the use of protection becomes more advisable for grade II and  expected for several sections on Grade III routes, which often appear in climbing guides as ‘Moderately’ graded climbing routes! 

Please message the Event Leader (Sieh) when booking if you are interested in the Grade II/II option - as places are clearly limited and will be allocated on a "first come - first served" basis, and we'll run a 'Waiting list; in case people have to drop out or change their mind. 

Sunday

We'll make the final decision over breakfast to suit the group's aspirations (and weather forecast!).
