The world famous crags and cliffs of Snowdonia, North Wales, contain some of the best and well known rock climbing routes in the country. A historically rich climbing venue, the names and annecdotes of times gone by make compelling reading - The first ascent of Hope on the Idwal slabs by Mrs E H Daniells in 1915, originally named Minerva "to mark the fact that it came from feminine skill and prudence"; the exploits of Joe Brown and Don Whillans; Ron Fawcett's "come on arms, do your stuff" on the first, and televised, ascent of Lord of The Flies on Dinas Cromlech to name but a few.
Ideal for beginners or for those who have done a bit of climbing, there is a rock climbing venue to suit every need in Snowdonia. Easily accessible roadside crags, magnificent mountain crags and stunning seacliffs-Snowdonia has it all.
Rock climbing days or courses in Snowdonia are always designed to suit clients' requirements; beginners rock climbing, intermediate rock climbing, learning to lead or guiding on some of the classic routes of the area - the choice is yours.
The iconic 1980s Ken Wilson book, Classic Rock, contains some of the most famous and best rock climbs in the country. Join Ascents of Adventure on a Classic Rock week that will attempt to climb all of the routes in Snowdonia - weather depending of course! There are 22 routes in Snowdonia and an ascent of any or all of these routes will be a week to remember. Flying Buttress, Great Gully, Main Wall, Crackstone Rib and the huge Avalanche/Red Wall/Longland's Continuation on Lliwedd are just a few of the routes that will be climbed. There are only 2 places available per course and the course fee includes all guiding and use of any specialised equipment. It would be preferable if you had done a small amount of climbing prior to this course. 7 days of climbing.
