IMC Winter Mountaineering, Snowdonia

Yr Hafod Scout Centre is our base, deep in the Ogwen valley with easy access to both the Glyder and Carneddau mountain ranges, so even if conditions aren't wintery, there's a huge variety of walks and scrambles right on our doorstep.

Experienced, authorised adults will be in charge of each walking group (4 – 8 people) and the informal training will include [winter] walking skills, route planning, route choice, navigation, leadership and teamwork. If there are winter conditions, specialist equipment such as ice axes and crampons will be provided as necessary.

This is a mountaineering trip, aimed at the more adventurous (hence the age limit of 16+). You must have suitable fitness, clothing and most importantly, footwear, which will be checked.

Applications open in the new year an be warned, this trip fills-up very quickly! More details on the IMC website
