Introduction to Scrambling
The Introduction to Scrambling course is a great way to learn how to scramble safely over steep ground. It’s brilliant fun and massively rewarding. Join us for a fun filled two days in Snowdonia.
Over the course of the two days you will learn how to scramble and cover some of the most iconic mountain terrain in the UK, developing your skills and confidence as you progress. As Beyond the Edge have a genuine passion for the mountains, if the weather is kind we don’t rush off the hill, so pop an extra snack in your bag and don’t book an early evening meal as we seek to get the most out of each day.
Who is it for ?
The Introduction to Scrambling course is for summer hillwalkers who want to learn how to safely move over steeper terrain. No prior knowledge of rock climbing or scrambling is required.
Introduction to Scrambling – Course Format
The exact course itinerary will be flexible to cope with weather conditions. During the course, you will cover the whole breadth of skills that are required for you to move safely on Grade 1 scrambles including:
- How to choose a scramble appropriate to your skill level and the weather conditions;
- How to navigate to and away from your chosen scramble;
- Safe and efficient movement on the scramble;
- Safety considerations.
Possible scrambles include:
Crib Goch (Snowdon)
Probably the best known scrambling route in Wales – its popularity is justifiable with exciting locations steeped in high mountain atmosphere.
Crib Lem (Lech Du Spur)
A hidden gem of a scramble in an unfrequented part of the Carneddau, giving some delightful scrambling with stunning views finishing close to the top of Carnedd Dafydd.
Tryfan N Ridge & Bristly ridge (Glyder Fach)
The jagged skyline ridge, prominent as you drive along the Ogwen valley, gives a great mountaineering day out. Classic Grade 1 scrambling with lots of variations if you want to make it harder lead via Cannon rock to the summit. Here, with a jump between Adam and Eve (two stone pillars) you can claim the freedom of the mountain. A short descent to Bwlch Tryfan and the option of continuing the classic scramble to the summit of Glyder Fach via Bristly ridge.
