Winter Open Climb Snowdon - Sun 7th March 2021

About

* Croeso * Welcome
We offer open Climb Snowdon days throughout the year – including the winter months, which we hope will coincide when we expect there to be some wintry conditions on the mountains, and you can join a group. If our date coincides with snowy conditions, this will give us good opportunity to introduce basic winter walking skills and techniques to aid our walking and increase confidence in the winter environment
Yr Wyddfa (as it is known locally in Welsh) is the highest peak in Wales and England. At 1085m high, it's a tough climb to reach the summit. But, you are rewarded with tremendous views to the coast and northern Snowdonia from its lofty heights. If the cloud obscures the fine views from the summit, as it often can, there is still plenty of exciting mountain terrain to view around you.
You will certainly know you are climbing a high mountain with its dramatic rocks and secret cwms. Your Mountain Leader will be able to point these out to you.
You will be joined by qualified and local Mountain Leaders who will share their enthusiasm and advice with you all the way. Each stony step is worth it as you climb higher into the mountain's unique environment full of history and drama... * mwynhewch *enjoy your Climb Snowdon day!
