Description

Snowdonia has made a name for itself as UK’s climbing mecca. With a wide variety of terrain, there is something for everybody here. Both if you’ve never scrambled before and if you’ve pretty much done it all, Snowdonia will provide a challenge.

Scrambling refers to hiking up steep terrain using your hands to move forward. It’s somewhere in the middle between hiking and rock climbing. This scrambling and climbing day trip will make for unforgettable memories!

My goal is to help you fulfill your dreams. Whether it’s reaching a summit or just giving scrambling a go, I’ll be happy to take you to the spots that are best adapted to your level.

Within an hour of the town of Llanberis, where I’m based, you’ll find over 5 different types of rock. So imagine how much fun you can have! Enjoy the views from the Gogarth cliffs one day, practice sport climbing on limestone the next and go for a classic scramble to the summit of Tryfan on the third day.

You need to be able to walk between 5-6 hours per day, at a rate of 300 meters per hour. However, you don’t need to have any specific technical skills as we will find the most suitable terrain for your abilities.

So contact me and come join me on a day or multiple days of pure fun at Snowdonia. I promise you won’t regret it!

Mountain Guide

I am based in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, in North Wales, in a village called Llanberis.
I have specialised in mountaineering and skiing. My main focus is to take my clients on great adventures in the British mountains and the European Alps, but I can also guide them in different places around the world.
I love sharing new challenges with my clients: whether it is about reaching the next summit or finding the best ski line.
To be safe as a mountaineer, keeping active is key. Therefore, I am always pushing forward and looking for new goals to reach.
I guide individuals and small groups. Please have a look at my favourite guiding programs and get in touch with me. It will be a great pleasure to share the mountains with you.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
