Scrambling In Snowdonia

Cicerone have just released an updated version of their classic guidebook Scrambles in Snowdonia. Being honest, it was desperately needed as guidebooks have moved on and The Gary Smith North Wales Scrambles was far superior to the old version.

Both ourselves and our clients have been enjoying the amazing scrambles in these books on our Scrambling Courses for many years.

Scrambling along ? in Snowdonia

The classic lines are justifiably popular, but there are many less frequented gems that are well worth seeking out. I challenge anyone not to have a huge smile on their face after completing the scrambling and caving expedition that is the Chasm face on Glyder Fach. Done in the wet it has all the hallmarks of a semi drunken foray up Lockwoods chimney!

 

 

 

The new version of Steve Ashton’s original guide has some additional routes and now has lots of high quality Scrambling photographs to inspire you and OS maps to guide you to and ip your chosen adventure. A full review will follow shortly after we have field tested it.

To celebrate the new version, Beyond the Edge have a free copy to give away.

To enter the draw, email us with the names of the three Scrambles in Snowdonia in these photos of BtE Scrambling Courses. And the tricky one – name the pass on the world famous classic Scramble in the Nepal Himalaya. Hint, its near Everest and you just know you want to head out there. The view is rubbish after all…

If you don’t have the time or cash to head out to Nepal, indulge yourself, and join us on a Scrambling course in Snowdonia and check out some of the routes for yourself. We have courses for all abilities, from the Classic Grade 1 scrambles of Crib Coch and the NE ridge of Tryfan to the esoteric middle grade outings on Mynedd Mawr or Carnedd y Filiast and the challenging routes of Glyder Fach.

We will make the draw on 10 September and contact the lucky winner shortly afterwards.

Good luck

The learn to lead trad course exceeded my expectations. Plenty of practice after some short lessons, James was a brilliant instructor throughout who adapted the course to the goals and level of each student, gave excellent advice to us as individuals and the group, and has offered substantial after care as we consolidate the course material by leading climbs in our own time. Would recommend to anyone.

I have just completed the two day Hill Skills course and I can’t recommend it more highly. I’ve been hiking for years and have even done serious hikes like the three peaks, Dolomites and in Austria, but like many I’ve been relying on apps and my phone and knew it was really time to build a proper foundation for my hiking skills. I was blown away by how much I learned from our brilliant instructor Graham. From getting confident with map reading and plotting routes off the trails, to learning about mountain rescue and what to do if things go wrong, this course was packed with amazing info and hands on practical skills. I’ll now be looking to complete my Lowland Leader accreditation and will definitely be back to Beyond the Edge. Thanks again!

My wife and I recently attended a first aid course with Beyond the Edge, and it was an excellent experience from beginning to end. Caroline led the course brilliantly. She was knowledgeable, welcoming and engaging, and explained everything clearly while keeping the training practical, interesting and easy to remember. The relaxed and supportive atmosphere made it comfortable to participate, practise the skills and ask questions. I left feeling much more knowledgeable and confident about responding to an emergency. It was also a pleasure meeting Chris, who made me feel very welcome, and our certificates were sent through promptly after the course. I would highly recommend Beyond the Edge to anyone looking for professional, practical and genuinely enjoyable first aid training.

Just completed my RCI Training with Beyond the Edge, and my nerves were put at ease instantly. Our course leaders Alex, James and Chris ran the training in a very relaxed manner, no question was a stupid question, and they are genuinely exited to encourage new people into the outdoor world, and i have left with a full suitcase of new skills, knowledge and enjoyment. Great company to start your outdoor qualification journey with!

I attended a hill skills course with Beyond the Edge. Delivery was at a sensible steady pace, a few hours in the ‘classroom’ with nav essentials then out to put these into practice and further skills like using emergency shelters, compass work & pacing. A lot covered in 2 days. Thoroughly recommend this course if you’re wanting to get more from your days out in the hills. Thank you Beyond the Edge.

Friendly staff and great location. I was made to feel totally safe and at ease with the whole two day training course and I was worried being a middle aged female. Would definitely go back to complete my assessment with Beyond the Edge.

Lowland Leader Training After an amazing weekend of training with Chris (Instructor) and our group, I have so much newfound knowledge to absorb, practise, and utilise. The knowledge shared was excellent, and the skills were presented in a clear, easy-to-absorb format. I would highly recommend Beyond The Edge. I will be back to complete my First Aid and Lowland Leader Assessment course.

I completed a two day Hill Skills course with Alex leading and Nigel assisting. There were seven of us with a range of experience and confidence. Alex and Nigel set a lovely tone with it being friendly, relaxed, interesting, and encouraging. We spent a couple of hours both mornings familiarising ourselves with the equipment and testing it out. Then went for a walk that utilised and challenged those skills. Everyone was really friendly and helpful throughout. If you don't know what taking a bearing is, an OS reference, how (or why) to use an emergency shelter, or pacing is, or know the difference between a path or a right of way on a map, then this course is for you.
