What is Scrambling? It is the middle ground between mountain walking and rock climbing.

Scrambling is an exciting mountain sport in it's own right with plenty of opportunities across the mountains of Britain and Ireland.

During this beginners course, we'll take you on 2 classic Snowdonia scrambles, covering the skills and techniques you will need to start your own scrambling adventures.

Our aim is to give you some new skills, some great mountain days and great memories from two of Snowdonia's classic scrambles.
