Why do we climb Snowdon so early in the morning?
We sometimes get asked why we start climbing Snowdon so early in the morning? Our regular start time for most Snowdon hikes is 8am but on Saturdays and in August we start even earlier at 7am. So why are we dragging you poor people out of bed while most are still fast asleep? The answer is simple – just look at the photo above.

Climbing Snowdon in the rain
Sadly not every day out on Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa is a beautiful, blue sky adventure. Sometimes, it rains! If you’re from the UK then this shouldn’t be breaking news. We’re very used to dealing with changing weather conditions but forgetting your umbrella when you’re heading into town is a very different proposition to climbing Wales’ highest mountain.
Read MoreDon’t like the booking fees?
Neither do we 🙁 But unfortunately they’re imposed on us by our booking platform.
If you’re booking a £39 hike up Snowdon, the fees are only a few pounds and most people are ok with that however if you’re trying to join one of our popular courses or arranging a private guide, the fees can be as much as £10 or even more.
Fortunately, you can avoid these fees by booking and paying by bank transfer or over with your credit or debit card over the phone.
