After a very wet first day, the weather certainly improved and overall a great trip. The organisation could not have been better from booking and responding to our concerns and queries and throughout the trip. I love the fact that we were accommodated as individuals to our ability and comfort levels allowing us to feel challenged but not too pressured to affect our enjoyment. I know I wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing the steep scrambles and this was not an issue as we had options of alternative routes. Now looking forward to the next adventure.

the weather was absolutely dreadful. So the fact that I had an absolutely amazing time is all the more impressive!

Our guide is a brilliant 'host': chilled out yet knowledgeable and with everything very much under control, making for a fun few days outdoors and away from everything.
Emily, Wild Camping Snowdonia
Been to several trips in Snowdonia, Lake District and Scotland with these guys. Great and well organised weekends away, with a super community of like-minded people.
Adrienn, Wild Camping Snowdonia
Been on 4 trips (hiking in Snowdonia, rock climbing in Peak District, and wild camping in Cadair Idris and Lake District) and can't recommend enough, I've loved every single one of those trips. Love the small sized groups, the dedication and care of the mountain guides and the itineraries they take us. Fabulous hikes, fun times and lovely food and snacks too! Plus travel is always sorted for you so no need to worry about getting to the meeting point. Absolutely recommend!

Day 1 (usually Friday) is all about arriving in Fort William and getting you kitted out for the exciting weekend to come.
Once prepped you'll meet the rest of the gang, have a bite to eat, before hitting the hay so you're ready for a big day tomorrow (perhaps after a quick whiskey at the bar)
Day 2 is when you'll learn the skills needed to take on the mountains in winter time!
It's all about ice axes, crampons, mountain weather, and moving efficiently and safely through challenging environments. Proper adventure stuff!
The setting is sublime. Perched high on the mountain, you'll be moving across the snow with an epic view over the valley below.
After roughly 6 hours out and about, it's back to town for some grub.
Day 3 and its time to bust out the big guns!
You'll be working together as a team to tackle this beast. The climb is challenging enough to make it a real accomplishment when you get to the top, but very doable with lots of breaks to catch your breath, eat a Mars Bar or 5, and snap a few killer selfies.
The notorious CMD Arete could be in the cards but can get a little spicy, so can only be attempted in the right conditions.
After an honest day of hard graft on the mountain it's back to Fort William to celebrate.
