"Climbing 350m in a day was a daunting prospect in the morning, but by 2pm Jack had already smashed it "

Summary:

It can be incredibly rewarding knowing you've taken the 'hard' way to a summit and experience a more physical way of exploring the mountains. On this course, one of our experienced mountaineering instructors will guide and teach you the skills you need to head off and explore the steeper side of mountains. This course is also an excellent introduction to summer Alpine rope work.

Who's it for?

This course is for experienced and physically fit hikers looking to challenge themselves further in the hill or climbers looking to transfer already known skills into mountaineering. Some prior scrambling or climbing experience is desirable. Course is open to 16+ 

Kit Needed:

All climbing kit is provided, a full kit list will be sent prior to starting the course.

Itinerary:

Our normal start time and meeting point is 9:00am at Ogwen Cottage in the Owgen Valley. Most of the crags are within walking distance, however occasionally we use some further away which are best suited for the course. Your own transport is advantageous however sharing lifts and car pooling can be arrange if we visit a slightly further away location. We will advise you if your instructor is planning on using a location further away before starting the course.
