Snowdonia Mountain Guides

Snowdonia Mountain Guides Snowdonia Mountain Guides offers rock climbing, Mountaineering and Hillwalking courses. Be it for guided trips, performance coaching or skills development.

We are high qualified and experience in this field of work. We look forward to sharing our passion. Welcome to Snowdonia Mountain Guides we have lived and breathed rock climbing and mountaineering in Snowdonia for the last twenty years. It is the last thing we think about and night and the first thing that crosses our minds when we wake up. We have lived what can only be descibed as a dream lifest

yle where the mountains and adventure are right on our doorstep and in doing so have come to know mountains and cliffs of North Wales intimately. What we offer isn't just a course in how to climb, navigate or ascend a mountain, instead we offer something more, an adventure into the unknown. Our guides are among the best there are in North Wales and our head coach prides himself on getting to know his clients, their abilities and what they want to achieve. In doing so it enables us to handpick routes to take you to your mental and physical limits under the watchful eye of our coaches and guides, and in the process give you one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. We don't sell holidays, we sell mountain experiences. We believe that by offering these experience you might be able to feel something like this quote below from the foreword to Annapurna (1953). "In overstepping our limitations, in touching the extreme boundaries of man's world, we have come to know something of its true splendor. In my worst moments of anguish I seemed to discover the deep significance of existence of which till then I had been unaware. I saw it was better to be true than to be strong. The marks of the ordeal are apparent on my body. I was saved and I have won my freedom. The freedom, which I shall never lose, has given me the assurance and serenity of a man who has fulfilled himself. It has giving me the rare joy of loving that which I used to despise. A new and splendid live has opened out before me."

Can you Help us develop a better App?

So I have been working on a new app. It has a Field Guide/Nature Identification App and some GPS tools. All routes, examples of nature or myths & Legends are user updatable so users can add their own photos to help people ID plants and animals.

The app is currently free, so if you want to sign up and help add to this growing resource for outdoor and nature lovers then visit:
