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.
Have you dreamt of climbing outside? Need a helping hand gaining the skills required to do so safely? This course will help make those first brave steps. We will take you through all the skill you need to be an independent climber.
Are you about to climb England and Wales’ highest mountain, Snowdon? Not sure what it will take to succeed? Maybe our guides can help you reach the summit safely with our guided Snowdon walks.
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.

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.

I had the pleasure of being one of Mark’s students about three years ago for climbing courses in Europe and South America. His style of instruction and mentoring still resonates with me to this day. In fact, I have found myself using his methodology throughout my time working as a climbing instructor on a professional and personal basis. Over the years I have worked with other professionals in the industry and would not hesitate to put Mark up against the very best!
Had a great time on a 5 day sport to trad course that Mark tailored to my needs. Mark was helpful and professional throughout and went the extra mile. His climbing knowledge and skills were unrivalled as was his ability to pass his knowledge on.
