Snowdonia Scrambles

Steve Ashton’s Cicerone guide to Scrambling in Snowdonia is an extensive companion on any keen scrambler’s trip to mid-Wales. Each of the routes described are in the northern half of Snowdonia National Park where some of the most rugged mountains are found; opportunities in the southern half being scarcer. Ashton divides the area into four main regions, from north to south these being the Carneddau, the Glyders, the Snowdon group and Eifionydd. Most detail is given to the Glyders, where some of the best scrambles are found; the large majority being focussed on Tryfan, Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr. The choice of routes is personally selected by Ashton and features over sixty routes, the range of difficulty varying between scrambly walks to the boundaries of proper rock climbing.
Therefore the guide is suitable for those with an average level of fitness and a head for heights in addition to those with advanced mountaineering skills and experience. Labelled black and white photographs helps indicate the different stage of each routes alongside the detailed route descriptions.
