Overview
All of the bookings are bespoke; so we plan a mountain journey around your goals and fitness levels. We can then create a package to suit your needs from adrenaline fueled abseils to multi- pitch rock climbing.
The unique part of this activity is that you get to explore areas of Snowdonia that are rarely ventured by hikers or travelers. There are many ways to the summit Mt Snowdon (largest mountain in Wales) so if you have the head for heights I recommend the most exciting way!
While climbing in North Wales we will be placing all protection along the route as we go! This means we are carrying everything we need. No pre-placed protection of any kind. This is called traditional rock climbing.
What's Included
- Helmets, harnesses and technical climbing kit
- Lunch
- Technical climbing shoes if you want to tackle hard climbs.
- Private transportation
Meeting And Pickup
Meeting point
We meet at the location planned depending on the goals, weather and itinerary. This may be in the Ogwen valley or llanberis. It could also be parts of Anglesey or any crags in Snowdonia. This gives us lots of flexibility to choose the right location depending on your needs and abilities.
End Point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
What To Expect
During the day you will have opportunities to learn how to lead climb, rescue techniques and how to stay safe while traditional climbing. You will be ropes up with your guide the entire time and will be able to learn and enjoy new climbing location under the safe supervision of the instructor.
The day will start at the pre-planned meeting point where we will pack the correct kit for the day and depart for the climbing experience.
The approach to the climbing can vary on the location and your abilities, but generally it's between 15 and 60 minutes. Once at the start of our climb we will cover some basic climbing principles and then tie into ropes to begin the ascent.
Once on the climb itself, it is fairly straight forward as we make our way to the top of the rock feature which presents fantastic views of mountains like Mt Snowdon, tarns (small mountain lakes) and countryside.
Along the way we can cover climbing skills such as how to place protection, how to build anchors and abseil safely. Some locations require us to abseil to reach the bottom again but other times we may summit a mountain peak before hiking back down.
