Mountaineering

Mountaineering trips can be offered to Snowdonia National Park in North Wales and to the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland.

Snowdonia National Park offers superb mountaineering and scrambling (using hands and feet) possibilities. A typical residential trip will include scrambling up the north ridge of Mt Tryfan on one day and scrambling along the exposed ridge of Crib Goch to reach the summit of Mt Snowdon (the highest mountain in Wales) another day. Both days will require a head for heights!

The Cairngorm Mountains offer excellent opportunities for Winter Mountaineering. A trip of this nature would involve using an ice axe, crampons and possibly ropes. Pupils will need a good level of fitness and expect to be away for approximately 5 days.
