Snowdonia Mountain Walks and Scrambles by Mark Reeves should be your go-to guide book for scrambling adventures in North Wales.

Covering all the best mountain walks and scrambles in Snowdonia/Eryri, whether you’re taking on your first mountain walk or you’re looking for the advanced scrambling adventure, this book has them both.

Published by outdoor guide book experts, Rockfax, the book includes full colour photos, precise route descriptions and detailed maps for hundred of walks and scrambles across the area. It also includes an extensive introduction covering some of the basic skills required for scrambling, route planning and navigation.

The walks start from basic routes up to the summit of Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa such as the Llanberis Path and Pyg/Miners Tracks but the main information is focussed on the multitude of scrambling possibilities which range from long link-ups like the Snowdon Horseshoe, awesome ridges like Bristly Ridge and full rock climbs like Grooved Arete on the East Face of Tryfan.

The walks are covered with a map, description and often an overview photograph too. The scrambles include detailed overview photographs, descriptions and approach maps. The harder scrambles and climbs all have detailed description and photographic topos.
