North Wales Scrambles (2nd) – Guide to 50 of the best mountain scrambles in Snowdonia

Description:

North Wales Scrambles – a guide to 50 of the best mountain scrambles in Snowdonia – now in a traditional, pocket-sized hardback cover.

This 2nd edition of the book contains detailed route descriptions for each of the fifty selected scrambles (a handful of which have had minor revisions), along with colour topos and new bespoke maps to help with route finding. The guide maintains its easy-to-use format and is supplemented with 98 colour photographs showcasing Snowdonia’s stunning mountain scenery.

All the well-known classic scrambles of the area are included, such as the North Ridge of Tryfan and the traverse of Crib Goch. The book also features a selection of excellent ‘off the beaten track’ scrambles – routes that take the reader to the less-frequented cliffs and cwms of Snowdonia.

The selection of scrambles ranges from easy ridge routes, suitable for beginners, right up to challenging outings for the more experienced on the bigger cliffs of Glyder Fach and Lliwedd. Extensively researched over a period of three years by local climbing instructor Garry Smith, the book has been written, produced and printed in Wales.
