Tryfan Mountain (915m), with its pointed structure, is one of the most iconic and scenic peaks in the famous Snowdonia National Park in Wales, UK. Famous for its craggy peaks, its over 100 lakes and views over to Ireland, Snowdonia’s mountain range is a hiker’s paradise.
Tryfan peak dominates the horizon in the stunning Ogwen Valley and this ascending walk and scramble provides the hiker with a nice level of challenge without being overly exhausting. Those with a reasonable level of fitness, who are able to hike for several hours in changeable weather conditions, are encouraged to sign up.
We will follow the famous north ridge that rises from the valley towards the twin pillars of Adam and Eve and this will provide you with adequate challenges, scrambles and spectacular viewpoints along the way. The route down will be less steep and easier on those tired legs.
Local tradition says that on your first Tryfan climb you must jump from pillar to pillar. However, being located 3000 feet up and on a cliff’s edge, we won’t make this compulsory!
Join me now on this exciting day out in the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia and you won’t forget it!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
