Dress in layers
Weather in Snowdonia shifts quickly—bring a waterproof shell and an insulating mid-layer to stay comfortable between climbs.
Stout shoes
Wear grippy approach or climbing shoes; the slate is sharp and needs precise footwork.
Hydrate and snack
Three hours on the rock can be surprisingly draining—pack water and a quick snack to keep energy up.
Listen to briefings
Guides run short safety and anchor briefings—pay attention to maximize time on the rock and reduce rigging delays.
Approach shoes or climbing shoes
Sticky soles and good edging support on sharp slate improve footwork and control.
Waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry during sudden showers common in Snowdonia.
