Winter is such an amazing time to get out and explore the mountains. Yes at times it can be tough and the weather definitely can be brutal at times. However all these extra challenges just make it all the more special when it comes together in the perfect day. As the days get shorter and the temperature starts to drop isn't the time to hide away and dream about adventures, its the time to wrap up warm and get out to face the elements and see how amazing this time of year can be. Here at Climb Snowdonia we believe that any mountain anywhere in the world looks better with a covering of snow. Why don't you get yourself booked on one of the many courses we have and see for yourself?
