About the event
Grade 1 SCRAMBLER Crib Goch Traverse
Classic 'to do' scramble Crib Goch and its sister ridge Crib y ddysgl. Enjoy a guided day across the traverse safe in the knowledge you will not go off route and can relax and enjoy the ridge with your friendly and experienced mountain leader.
Grade 1 scrambing is the lower level of difficulty. BUT that's not to say that scrambling isn't a challenging activity. This is a physically demanding day, it is not suitable to anyone that is new to mountain walking. The terrian is steep, the exposure is great and the distance is long. Grade 1 is commonly tackled 'un-roped', you will be expected to move with a steady pace and have no issues with being at height.
Please be aware that all mountaineering and scrambling poses risk and if you wish to attend a scrambling workshop for mountaineering skills (roped grade 2/3 scrambling) may I recommend a suitably qualified instructor (Mountaineering & Climbing Instructor). Please ask for advice on an advanced course for harder scrambles.
