I'm on holiday with family in Snowdonia wc 29th Aug but planning to steal away for one day to get some climbing in (with a guide I would imagine), as I have no idea at all about the area). I'll be in Criccieth for the week.

Does anyone have any guide/company recommendations they've used? There's absolutely loads of options when googling this kind of thing. I tried JB due to the great YT channel, but sadly no availability.

I'm not after anything too desperate, but a fun/interesting experience as a one-off for the day. I'm relatively new to trad climbing (starting at the bottom in Northumberland!) but I'm quite comfortable indoors up to about 6c+. 

Thanks.

Myself and my partner recently had a day out with Andy Grimes from Fluid Combinations who I fully reccomend! 

We did a mixture of sport (having never lead outdoors) and trad. Andy made us feel confident enough to lead 2 trad routes towards the end of the day.

Awesome day out, really knowledgeable guide, would highly reccomend!

Sounds absolutely ideal to be honest! I'll give him a shout this morning. Thanks

Andy is a good instructor, I work with him loads. If he can’t fit you in, drop me a message via UKC and we can sort you out, there’s some availability that week.

I did a guided climbing day with Libby Peters. It was brilliant. She is an incredible climber, a lovely person and a fantastic guide. Cannot recommend her highly enough. You can book through her website

Always had a good day with Snowdonia Walking & Climbing but I'm sure all the above will see you right too
