Gorge Scrambling in Snowdonia, North Wales

Gorge Scrambling is a superb fun filled adventure activity that involves walking, scrambling and some short swims in a mountain gorge.

Have a look at a recent gorge scramble movie clip on our Facebook page.

We use a gorge scramble called the Afon Ddu which is just outside Betws y Coed. The session takes up the best part of a day with a minimum group size of 4 needed and a maximum of 20.

Meeting in Betws Y Coed at 09.00 you will follow our instructors to the gorge where we get changed and spend a few minutes having a brief about safety before heading in to the gorge for the rest of the morning. The gorge scramble usually lasts around 3 hrs maximum with a full group of 15 and around 2 1/2hrs as an average time for smaller groups.

There are water slides, squeezes and jumps that you can tackle along the way, this is a great activity that is suitable for all.

For the gorge scramble we will supply wetsuits, buoyancy aids and spray cags as well as helmets.

All you need to bring to go gorge scrambling is a pair of boots or trainers that will get wet and your swim wear and towel plus a couple of long sleeved tops that will get wet. Don't forget to bring a waterproof camera!

Minimum age to come gorge scrambling with us is 18 years old, Or 13 yrs if you have a parent or legal guardian taking part with you.
