Cneifion Arete, Snowdonia. An ace day at work on this brilliant Grade 3 scramble in the Idwal Valley

Great video. We did the route ( again ) recently, using Sub Ceneifion Rib ( HVD ) as a starter, which leads to a high level traverse after the final pitch into Cwm Cneifion and directly to the start of the Arete. A superb day out

More classic Snowdonia scrambling routes - great.

Loved the feel of this vid. The smooth jazz really represents the feel off the ridge well. (Unless it's blowing a hoolie of course)! Thank you.

Can’t wait for little bit better conditions to get up thier absolute classic . Did north buttress variant on Tryfan in the showers luuvley 😂. Perfect conditions great vid. Beautiful views

I'm adding this to my summer to-do list :)

Hi. I think this is what my dad suggested we do next. We have just done the Jakes Rake. It looks great.

Did Idwal scramble into that a few weeks ago with very sunny weather. Absoloutely amazing scramble :)

Love the cneifion arete,beautiful drone footage gives true perspective ,envy your job man

Great looking area looking forward even more now to October. 👍👍

Great route with so many options. Cheers Jez

Beautiful scenery! That last piece of drone footage was stunning.

@JB Mountain Skills I am going to attempt this scramble this year. Interested to know what shoes you used or recommend for this and similar scrambles. Thank you

Great footage!

Hey great video as always 👍 Could i ask , , , is there a knack to finding the gribin decent ridge after the knifeon arete ??? I always seem too miss it and end up by devils kitchen 🤷‍♂️😆

Class route! Manage to complete it today ! 👍

Great video I recently vlogged about Conwy and the rain was horrendous 👊🏿

Fab video, hoping to start climbing this year (at 48 😂) after lockdown. Used to walking and minor scrambling in Snowdonia so thought why not

This was my first ever multipitch, that ended up being through a cloud in the dark. It was very fun.

Been looking for some scrambling routes, been a few years since I did any rock climbing and idwal Slabs was one of my favourites especially for teaching newbies 🙂🤟 just subscribed so I'll be checking some out in the next couple of weeks, what would this be graded as in winter with snow and ice like Crib Goch please... many thanks 😊👌

Hi Jez. Hope you’re well. Still loving these videos and it’s nice to see you out and about again. I have a query and was wondering if you could assist? Is there a more efficient way of pitching when guiding 2 people on a scramble? I have found it can be awkward when bringing two people up together on the same rope, because when the 2nd reaches the belay stance, the 3rd can be 2 or so meters behind (the rope between the 2nd and 3rd). Once the 2nd has reached the belay, how would you usually manage the 3rd? Would you be happy just letting the 3rd climb up to the belay alongside the 2nd (likely creating slack between them as a result)? Or do you have a better system that you could suggest? With one 2nd it’s much simpler but can’t work out an efficient system for managing a 3rd. Hope my question makes sense :) Many thanks

Great video, thanks. For days like these what rope would you carry? 8mm or a bulkier 9.5 or so? I'm reluctant to carry a full 60m x 10mm for these kind of days out but I'd like to get something that's good for body belay and HMS/belay plate use, there seems to be very few options apart from a cheap 10mm wall rope or a skinny 8mm walking rope.

What's with a wired nut and quickdraw in the awkward chimney. Surely you must have the odd large hex on cord lurking in your equipment cupboard for these types of routes. Watching made me want to find my moac on tape and drag one of my kids up there (I know it fits perfectly in that exact spot shown in your video).Cneifion arete is my favourite bit of Wales, especially in dramatic weather

I understand the desire to use a rope on a route like this however I personally don’t think it seems to warrant it. Did you really feel at a high risk of falling?

anyone know what brand the big nuts he uses are? they look oversized?

Anyone else think he was one strapping his rucksack?
