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.
Got a route you’ve always dreamt of climbing, an enchainment through the mountains of Wales or just want to rack up the rock climbing mileage, then our private rock climbing guiding is a highly recommended and enjoyable way to get the most out of a short trip to Wales or elsewhere.
If you enjoy hill and mountain walking and would like to be introduced to the fabulous opportunities around North Wales then we offer a guided classic walks in Snowdonia course. Whether it is a few hours gentle stroll between cafes or an all-day mountain challenge, we have it all.
Have you been hillwalking and wondered how to bridge the gap to grade 1 scrambling? This introduction to scrambling course helps address those skills and shows you how to safely approach mountain scrambles.

Our Madrid Rock Climbing Holiday takes you to one of Spain’s hidden gems. With granite slab and crags resembling Yosemite’s Tuolumne Meadows, it really is a place you must visit. It also has La Patones with vertical pocketed limestone for when you need a day bolt clipping.
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.

Mark is beyond just a Mountain Guide, he is an educator. What you glean is not just his passion for the mountains, excellent photography skills that make you look rad and constant sense of humor...you come away a more competent climber. Thanks Mark for all you have done for my development and so many other climbers we hold in common.
