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
