Meet Your Mountain Walkshop - Ridges of Resilience - Tryfan

  • Caffi Siabod A5 Betws-y-Coed, Wales, LL24 0EL United Kingdom (map)

Break Your Barriers

The fast pace and relentless nature of the world today presents constant waves of challenges that can wear us down.

We often think about success is down to being better, working harder, but the secret is sometimes as simple as having the determination and resilience to weather the storms for long enough to emerge not only intact, but thriving on the other side.

On this adventure, we will explore what the mountains can teach us about resilience, and build our own unbreakable fortitude by taking on the enchanting, yet imposing mountain of Tryfan, then pushing ourselves again on the challenging Bristly Ridge as we ascend Glyder Fach, before one final test on the descent of Y Gribin.

During our adventure to climb the highest mountain in England, we will:

  • Test your resilience as you put yourself out of your comfort zone in exposed scrambling terrain

  • Identify the patterns that are holding you back and create strategies to overcome them

Say ‘yes’ to adventure

A day in the mountains, taking on a walk that challenges you will give you clarity of thought, new inspirational ideas and the confidence and determination to make them happen

Don’t be trapped by routine

Routine is safe, but it can also be a trap. It’s time to break free of the cycles, routines and beliefs that are keeping your thinking small, frustrating you and holding you back

Release your potential

Set your mind free in the mountains, giving it time and space to create, invent, envision and connect, leaving you recharged, excited and ready to take on the world.

 

What to Expect - The Plan and Route

We will meet in the Siabod Cafe in nearby Capel Curig. After a briefing and getting to know each other, we'll make the short drive out to a layby on the A5, at the foot of the iconic mountain of Tryfan.

Once ready, we'll head onto the mountain, and the ground becomes broken nearly immediately, requiring hands-on-rock as we ascend the path. We'll then make our way onto the start of the ridge, and the scrambling continues up the ridge, and over the tricky North Tower, before reaching the summit.

Two standing boulders mark the highest point, and you will be granted the 'freedom of Tryfan' if you choose to step from one to the other (optional!).

We'll then descend via Tryfan's South Ridge, which whilst still a scramble, is less intense than the way up, and we'll soon be faced with our next challenge, Bristly Ridge.

We ascend 'Sinister Gully' to gain access to the ridge, and then make our way across it, overcoming a number of rock obstacles on the way, before reaching the summit of Glyder Fach.

Our final scrable is the descent of Y Gribin, before returning to the layby.

Post-event, for anyone who wants to staty longer, we will head to grab some food from Hangin' Pizza in nearby Betws-y-Coed (not included)
