Description

Nestled into the northwestern corner of Wales, Snowdonia National Park is home to the tallest mountains in Wales and some of the tallest in the United Kingdom.

Boasting 14 different peaks, each with an elevation of more than 900 meters, hiking them all is the goal of many outdoor adventurers who visit the region. And, over the course of our three days together, this is exactly what we will do!

Our fist day will be a long one, filled with a lot of ascents. Starting first thing in the morning, we will summit Tryfan, Glyderau Fach, Glyder Fawr, Y Garn and Elidir Fawr.

Our second day will be another long one, filled with even more ascents, and will take us through some of the wildest parts of Snowdonia. We will climb Pen Yr Ole Wen, Carnedd Dafydd, Yr Elen, Carnedd Llewelyn, Foel Grach and Foel Fras.

On the final day, we will make fewer ascents, but the day will still be packed with excitement as we traverse knife edge ridges and finish off the trip by summiting Snowdon – the tallest mountain in Wales. On the way to reaching the top of the country, we will climb Crib Goch and Crib y Ddysgl too.

Keep in mind that the weather, which is notoriously volatile here, will determine what we can do. Add some extra days either side of the trip in case we are rained out on one day.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this memorable and thrilling 3-day mountaineering adventure up the 14 tallest mountains in Wales!

If you like the look of this trip, but are looking for something a bit more laid back, then I think you will also enjoy my 1+ day mountain hiking adventures in Snowdonia, for all levels!

Mountain Guide

I hold a Mountaineering Instructor Certificate (MIC). I am fully qualified to guide and instruct all aspects of mountaineering and climbing in the UK throughout the year. Also, I am a full member of the Mountain Training Association (MTA) and the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI).

I love climbing and this passion has taken me all over the world, even to the summit of Mount Everest. I have also climbed in the Andes, as well as in the Alps, Norway and Canada. I reached the summit of Mount Everest on May 2001, as a member of the RAF Mountain Rescue Service Everest North Ridge expedition.

I first started mountaineering in Scotland with the RAF Mountain Rescue Service, over 20 years ago. Since then, I haven't stopped climbing and exploring new mountains in the UK and abroad. I have been a RAF Mountain Rescue Team Leader and also the Chief Instructor for 5 years. I have also climbed all the Munros, the Scottish peaks above 3000 feet.

I love climbing around North Wales and the rest of the UK. We have so many amazing climbing and scrambling spots to discover in this area! I enjoy taking my clients there for rock climbing, scrambling and mountain skills courses or for a guided day out.

We can set up a program according to your level and wishes. Contact me and we can start planning your next mountain adventure right away!

So our adventure was sadly cancelled due to the extreme bad weather, however I rate our guide and his expertise highly as he put our safety first and offered a refund or voucher, so to me that speaks volumes about the company, I will be using explore share in the spring to reschedule the climb and hopefully have better weather for the occasion.

Great friendly guides with plenty of knowledge. They offered extra clothing and water, asked and organised several stops, we had several different types of climbers - those who are experiences and those who's this was a first experience, different fitness levels etc so they was able to separate and support the group accordingly. I would highly recommend Derry and Conor to anyone who was asking for a guide.

Stanley

We did our trip with Andy who's one of the guides working with Richard. Andy was fantastic - very knowledgable, experienced and patient. It was 5 of us and we've all had a great time despite different levels of experience. The climb was overlooking the valley which was used for Game of Thrones filming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for North Wales climbs.

My partner and I had Gareth as our guide and he was brilliant. His knowledge and history of the mountains made for good conversations and his endurance and patience was greatly appreciated on our climb. We didn't know what to expect but Gareth guided us on the path we were taking going up and the other path we would take descending down. I found it challenging at times but Gareth was always patient and truthfully reassuring on the types of steepness we faced and was able to put time/kilometres on it too, which encouraged me to push myself. He was very welcoming to small breaks and also kindly captured pictures and videos of me and my partner as we climbed, which is nice to look back on. Overall, I highly recommend this service. As first time climbers, the Rhyd Ddu path was challenging but so worth it as it was a beautiful, quieter path to climb. I specifically booked this service as a birthday surprise for my partner and loved the fact we were not part of a group and were able to enjoy the experience together. Keep up the great work and I'll be sure to pass on these details to anyone interested in climbing. Regards, Eleasha.
