Welcome to Snowdonia Mountain Guides we have lived and breathed rock climbing and mountaineering in Snowdonia for the last twenty-five years. It is the last thing we think about at night and the first thing that crosses our minds when we wake up. We have lived what can only be described as a dream lifestyle where the mountains and adventure are right on our doorstep. In doing so have come to know mountains and cliffs of North Wales intimately. What we offer isn’t just a course in how to climb, navigate or ascend a mountain, instead we offer something more. An adventure into the unknown.
An experience that we hope will help define you and your future enjoyment of the mountains of Wales and beyond. We handpick routes to take you to your mental and physical limits under the watchful eye of our coaches and guides. In the process, we will give you one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life. We don’t sell holidays, we sell mountain adventures.
Across the whole of the UK there is a growing number of bolted sports climbs. If you want to bridge the gap between indoor and outdoor sports climbing, then this introduction to sports climbing course will teach you all the essential skills to head out sports climbing anywhere.
Do you want a lovely week strolling through some of the most beautiful countrysides without too much in the way of steep up hills? If so we offer this amazing course that sees you walking a mixture of low level and easy walks in the hills and on the amazing coast of Wales.
Snowdonia is a compact Alpine playground, full of some of the best scrambles in the UK. Why not join us on our guided classic scrambles and enjoy what the mountains of Snowdonia have to offer.

Chodes was one of the first areas bolted in Spain for Sports Climbing. As such it makes a great place for a Spanish climbing holiday away from the crowds. A 5th and 6th-grade climbers paradise, Chodes and Calcenca offer a great variety of climbing in what are fair compact areas.
There is nothing quite like the mountains in winter. So come and experience the stunning winter wonderland in Snowdonia and learn some vital winter skills whilst enjoying classic winter hillwalking routes.
So I have headed down from Northern Spain and I am back in the Costa Blanca soaking up the sun and climbing some of the great sport climbs in the area. It is alway nice to avoid a bit of the welsh/english winter and escape for some winter hot rock climbing. Sadly this year I have to head back for christmas but I am back working here in the new year. If you’d like to book onto a course then you can do through either here or Sunnier Climbs.
Hopefully some of the images might help you get excited for some of our hot rock climbing and coaching holidays here.

So incredibly lucky for a beautiful day out on the mountain with Mark. He was wonderfully accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure that I had the best day climbing possible. We were able to do a couple of classic routes and he was constantly sharing his local knowledge and climbing expertise. His familiarity with nearly every person we passed on the mountain showed his remarkable depth of commitment to the climbing community in Wales. I couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Marks service is professional, informative & fun. He has run many courses / sessions for my daughter & for the NWYCA. If you have specific issues re your climbing or reaching your potential Mark & SMG are the people you want. You will not be disappointed.
