Advanced Scrambling

A damp it not totally wet day yesterday for Sarah and Reza on our Advanced Scrambling Course. Being a first taste of roped scrambling we followed the fine and well trodden itinerary of the first half of Idwal Buttress linked to the upper half of Idwal Staircase before stepping from grade 2 to 3 for a finale on Cneifion Arete. They followed that up today with an ascent of the East Ridge of Y Garn in slightly drier conditions. Thanks very much both for joining us.

Teaching winter mountaineering

Teaching winter mountaineering today with Fabio and Mark. It’s been a bit more blustery than of late so we stayed lower and got them on the sharp end in ascent and descent. Bit of a turbo thaw coming in tomorrow but a great start to winter. Fancy joining us for more of this? Check out Expeditionguide.com for our full winter programme.
