Description

Tryfan is a mountain in Snowdonia, in the Ogwen Valley. Its classic pointed shape with rough crags makes it one of the most recognizable and famous peaks in Britain.

Snowdonia offers endless possibilities is perfect if you are looking for an exciting scramble or climb. Its challenging terrain, mountains and spectacular views make it a top destination for adventure lovers in the UK.

Today I invite you to join me and climb the North Ridge of Tryfan, one of the classic scrambling routes to the top of this mountain.

Scrambling is in between hiking and climbing, so you will need hands, feet and above all, a cool head for heights! However, the North Ridge isn't as thrilling as Crib Goch. Actually, this is an ideal 'taster' if you are planning to attempt that scramble in the future.

The North Ridge follows a clear line along a broad ridge directly to the summit, where we find the twin monoliths of Eve and Adam. Although the bridge is broad, this Grade 1 scrambling is really interesting and varied. Along the way, we will go from short steep pitches with handholds to easy walking.

Also, nearby we find the equally classic Bristly Ridge and Y Gribin. Both are superb ways to gain the summit of Glyder Fawr (big) and Glyder Fach (little). They offer a classic horseshoe walk, starting and finishing at Ogwen Cottage. And I can also take you there!

Please note that in case of poor weather and to preserve your safety I may offer alternative routes.

Contact me if you want to join me for the North Ridge of Tryfan scramble! I will be happy to guide you up there.

And if you are looking for a more exciting scramble, you can check the Snowdon Horseshoe via Crib Goch scramble that I also guide.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
