course info

Tryfan’s north ridge is by far one of the most popular scrambles in North Wales and at 917m its certainly not a mountain to be taken lightly. The two easiest routes are both grade 1 scrambles which guarantee you will need both hands and feet to climb it and certainly a head for heights.

Our guided scramble will take you from the base of Tryfan along the popular North Ridge to its summit and back down the south ridge into Cwm Bochlwyd. Our instructors are qualified Mountaineering and Climbing instructors (MCI) and hold the highest qualification for mountaineering and have extensive experience of all the routes on the mountain. Our Instructors are also Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) members, hold insurance and advanced first aid certificates.

To attend this day you will need some previous hill walking and scrambling experience with a few grade 1 scrambles under your belt. If you don’t have any experience why not join our Introduction to Scrambling course in Snowdonia to gain more confidence on this type of terrain.

Fantastic day on the Back to Basics Navigation course with Matt. Very well organised and learnt a lot. Matt was very professional and great at teaching the skills with lots of patience and encouragement. Really enjoyed it and will definitely be signing up to other courses in future. Highly recommended.

A great day out learning how to use a map and compass with Matt. His teaching style gave us just the right amount of information without feeling overloaded. I would highly recommend Matt !

Chris

Just got back from a fantastic weekend with Matt on the Welsh 3k and couldn't have asked for a better time. We had blue skies and cool air so it wasn't too hot and the views were simply incredible. Matt set a great pace allowing us to push our limits but never going beyond what we were capable of and we finished in 18 hours 32 mins. Hes a top bloke and I would certainly recommend him and The Mountaineering Company to anybody. Thanks again Matt. You will certainly see us again next year no doubt!

Chris Mansell

We attended a navigation course today with Matt. He was fantastic, can’t rate him highly enough! We had no knowledge at all, but have come home feeling confident and ready to tackle our adventure! Thank you Matt for a fabulous, fun day

I thoroughly recommend Matt as a leader & guide. I experienced an exhilarating & fun day with a super group doing Matt's Ogwen Classics day. Matt managed our mixed levels of ability & confidence with a calm, encouraging, alert & purposeful manner. He inspired confidence through recognition of our efforts & shared his knowledge & experience to support our skill development. The day passed all too quickly!
