About the event
Welcome to Nature’s playground! Tryfan is the only mountain in the UK that cannot be climbed via any approach without the use of your hands, at least at some point, depending on which route you take. We will be taking on the famous North Face of Tryfan, with what is considered by the majority of people to be the best grade 1 scrambling route in Britain and was voted Britain’s favourite mountain by Trail magazine.
Situated in the picturesque Ogwen Valley, in Snowdonia and part of the Glyderau mountain range, there is no more distinctive and therefore easily recognisable mountain on these shores than Tryfan with it’s classic rugged crags reminiscent of a mighty sleeping dragon or dinosaur from ages past, frozen in time. On the way up we’ll pass the Canon Stone, a large distinctive shaped rock, that juts out at 45 degrees, giving anyone who fancies, a memorable and boastful photo moment!
Summiting Tryfan we’ll see the two boulders known as Adam and Eve, which in the right conditions, can be leapt between, again giving another unique and even more fantastic photo for the ages… and well as being bestowed the honour of “The Freedom of Tryfan”. After taking in the views and having a short break, we’ll continue our ascent over the Glyders and descend over Y Cribin for what is a full on mountain scrambling day, which is almost certainly going to rank as one of your best and most memorable days of adventure!
Difficulty: Challenging Approximate Duration: 7-8 hours Distance: 10km / 6 Miles Ascent / Descent: 1,149m / 1,149m
HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE?
Not climbed a Mountain before? Don't worry, you don’t need to be an athlete to enjoy mountain climbing in the UK, but a reasonable level of fitness will certainly enhance your experience. Here are some key points to consider:
Basic Fitness: You should be comfortable walking for several hours at a steady pace. Regular walking or jogging can help build your stamina.
Strength and Endurance: Some strength in your legs and core will be beneficial, as mountain paths can be steep and uneven.
Cardiovascular Health: Good cardiovascular health is important. Activities like brisk walking or using a stair climber can improve this.
Flexibility and Balance: Flexibility and balance are also helpful. Stretching exercises and yoga can improve your flexibility and balance.
Mental Preparedness: Mental resilience is key. Being prepared for a challenge and having a positive mindset will help you enjoy the climb.
Your Guide will ensure your safety, providing support and advice throughout the journey. Remember, the goal is to enjoy the experience and the stunning views, so we will take it at a pace you are comfortable with so you can have fun!
