Scrambles in Snowdonia : A scrambling guide

This comprehensive guidebook covers over 60 scrambles in the northern half of Snowdonia National Park, north Wales, where the most rugged mountains are found. The routes are organized across four distinct regions: the Carneddau, the Glyders, the Snowdon group, and Eifionydd, with the finest scrambling concentrated on Tryfan, Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr in the Glyders.

All the best scrambles are included, with routes ranging from scrambly walks to the boundaries of proper rock climbing. At the easier end, average fitness and a head for heights will suffice, while the most challenging routes demand nothing short of a mountaineer's skill and daring.

Some routes present their own unique challenges—scrambling over loose rock and up dripping, vegetated gullies requires a special cunning that neither hill walking nor rock climbing alone can prepare you for. Whether you're taking your first steps into scrambling or seeking out Snowdonia's most demanding lines, this guide covers the full spectrum of what this spectacular mountain landscape has to offer.
