Advanced Scrambling Course







It has been a glorious day here in Snowdonia and I have been joined by repeat client Shae and regular client Mick for two days of advanced scrambling. We climbed Dolmen Ridge (3) and descended Bristly Ridge (1) with stunning views, warm dry rock and blue skies and sunshine. We looked at the rope skills needed to cover grade 3 ground as well as movement skills and efficiency. We enjoyed a nice cup of tea in the valley before my pager went off and I went and assisted on a rescue (read sunbathed at the helicopter landing zone whilst the aircraft did all of the work!) on Snowdon of 3 people stuck in a snow gully without winter kit.
