Rock scrambling in Snowdonia. The weather was far from perfect but we had two good days out rock scrambling in Snowdonia. Mandy and Craig really powered up grade 2 and even grade 3 rock scrambling with ease! The North ridge of Tryfan then down the south ridge followed by Seniors Ridge direct and above were just a couple of the scrambles. Snowdonia is just excellent for rock scrambling. Mountaineering Joe

Jack and I were out in Idwal valley practicing rope techniques on steep grade 3 ground. You need good rope techniques to handle this type of ground safely. Full pitching, short pitching, belays, walking with the rope are all techniques required to handle yourself with confidence in the mountains. Rock scrambling courses with Mountaineering Joe

Snowdonia’s Crib Goch traverse in winter conditions. A period of winter conditions has come to Snowdonia National Park. So a great time to enjoy some brief winter conditions. Crib Goch under winter conditions was just excellent! We got a reasonable weather window to enjoy the ridge with no wind. Winter walking and scrambling with Mountaineering Joe
