Snowdon South Ridge May 10th

Route Description:
We’ll start our adventure from Nant Gwynant or the Rhyd Ddu car park, following the Rhyd Ddu Path before branching onto the quieter South Ridge. As we climb, we’ll enjoy stunning views of Llyn Llydaw, Llyn Glaslyn, and the surrounding valleys. The highlight of the route is Bwlch Main, an exhilarating ridge with sweeping panoramas that leads us to the summit of Snowdon.

You’ll be in safe hands throughout the hike, as I’ll guide and support you every step of the way. Whether it’s navigating tricky sections, managing pace, or offering encouragement, I’ll ensure you feel confident and cared for from start to finish.

Good to Know:

The ridge can feel exposed (although there is a path option below it if you prefer to avoid it) and there are a couple of scrambling section to pass on the way to summit. I will guide you through it all however it is important you are aware of the type of route we will adventure on.

Proper footwear and layers are essential, as mountain weather can change quickly.

Perfect For:
Women wanting a guided, adventurous route with the security of an experienced mountain leader who understands the importance of feeling safe and empowered in the mountains.

– Walking boots/hiking trainers are essential, preferably with ankle support. No normal trainers of any kind, pumps or sliders allowed.
